The report titled “FRONTIERS AND TERRITORY IN CYBERSPACE. METRIC PRINCIPLES FOR GEO-LOCAL INDEPENDENCE ON THE WEB” is a development of the knowledge area of the educational projects of area421 (http://www.area421.com) and it aims to reflect the difficulty of achieving certain globality levels for websites, regardless of their categorization, as well as help to understand the method by which a website achieves visibility on the Internet through its contents.
Between December 6, 2007 and January 2, 2008, 44 websites with differing characteristics and structures were studied, primarily to find relations between cyberspace and physical territory, as well as explore little-studied cybermetric methods which would make it possible to establish conditions for future studies. Geo-citations and territorial citations were chosen to establish websites’ globality level, and to verify the degree of dependency of the website on the place or territory from which it is managed. For that purpose, three terms were defined:
GEO-CITATION: Citation given in cyberspace (Internet contents) referring to a physical territory.
LOCAL GEO-CITATION (gl): Geo-citation referring to the physical location from which a website is created or managed.
EXTERNAL GEO-CITATION (gx): Geo-citation referring to any physical location that is physically or culturally distant from the place from which a website is created or managed.
