Karen S. Baker and James W. Brunt and David Blankman – A site description directory plays a central role as a catalog for a network of research sites.

A directory contributes to community communications both through documentation of member information and relationships as well as through design feedback elicited from participants in the ongoing process of developing the catalog system.
