Zitat:

"Quality controlled subject services". Criteria:
---
0. Internet-service linking to numerous other sites or documents on the 
   Internet
1. Selection of resources in a intellectual process according to 
   published quality criteria
   (this excludes e.g. selection according to automatically measured
   popularity)
2. Intellectually produced content description, in the spectrum between
   short annotation and review
   A good but not necessary criterion is the existence of intellectually
   assigned keywords or controlled terms.
   (this excludes automatically extracted so-called summaries)
3. (Intellectually constructed ?) fairly deep browsing 
   structure/classification
   (this excludes completely unstructured lists of links)
4. (At least partly) manually generated (bibliographic) metadata for the 
   individual resources
---
According to these criteria Yahoo! wouldn't fulfil criterion 1,
private collections of linklists would miss criteria 3 and 4, often
even 2.
Are all criteria necessary for a "Quality controlled subject service"?
