Site analysis: characteristics, typology.

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

1. Static structure, scope of information.
- URL
- Work environment (OS, languages, programming)
- The structure of the sections of the site
- Forms of information (articles, photos, tables)

2. Dynamic structure, information flows
- sources of information (authors)
- information nodes (processing)
- recipients of information
')
3. Items of information about what the site and its components

4. Means of interaction. Monitor and cursor - part of the site, paradoxically.

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