I’m building a catalog for the Internet, with an XXX.XXX.XXX (INF.REF.ENC) categorization system. And would like to make submitting a site as straightforward as possible. For legal reasons (writing bad descriptions could cost views), we’re completely opt-in.

The entire database will be licensed under CC-BY-SA, and hosted over IPFS.

Are these instructions clear, or do they need to be redrafted?

    Two things that comes into my mind:

    • The meaning of INF, REF, and ENC are not clear. The INF section has been used for both topic and country code.
    • In “USA.KTY.BGN”, shouldn’t it say USA.XXX.XXX instead to make it clearer?

        Oh right, the KTY part is also part of the region. By INF I meant what you said above in the post (XXX.XXX.XXX (INF.REC.ENC)), which makes it look like each part corresponds to something called INF, REC and ENC. I didn’t realise that it was supposed to be an example.

          I was also confused by this. If it was an example it should say that.

          Edit: in fact the examples should also be explained. It wasn’t immediately clear to me what city example they were using.

          Gotcha.

          Also, I’m now wondering if it would be appropriate to have a network of distributed servers, each dedicated to a particular country. Would provide a lot more breathing room.
