Site analysis: characteristics, typology.

Abstract of the article.
All existing site typologies are inconsistent and fragmentary. Analysis of any object begins with a listing of its characteristics. A site is a volume of information, therefore it has:

1. Static structure, information framework.
- URL
- Work environment (OS, languages, programming)
- Site section structure
- Information forms (articles, photos, tables)

2. Dynamic structure, information flows
- information sources (authors)
- information nodes (processing)
- information recipients

3. Items of information about what the site and its components

4. Means of interaction. The monitor and cursor are part of the site, paradoxically as it may seem.

I think that ALL information objects: books, films ... people have these characteristics.
