How are URLs in the global Knowledge Base and local Knowledge Bases updated?
QuestionPoint does not currently perform back-end URL verification. Global Knowledge Base editors perform a URL check and record the date they checked the URL when they first activate a record, such as: http://www.loc.gov/cdrs [December 2001] If the editor finds that the URL is invalid and cannot correct it, he or she notes that the link is broken as of the date that it was checked: http://chronicle.merit.edu/.ads/.links.html [broken February 2002] In addition, an editor may assign a review date to a record, which flags it for review after the specified date. Editors can also add information to the record in its Addendum field. This allows an editor to update or add further information to a record, either when initially editing the record or upon later review.
