Every textual Web file must include information clearly identifying the person who is responsible for the file, contact information, and the date the file was last revised. This principle should be applied to image, sound, video, and other file types as the technology to include relevant information in other file types becomes available at Georgetown. See the GUide Recommendations on Documentation for more information. University Web service providers must maintain well-documented systems for determining who is responsible for specific directories and files on their servers. See the GUide Recommendations on Organization for more information.
Service providers reserve the right to limit space on their servers if necessary.
Consistent with appropriate University personnel policies, job descriptions of those who develop and maintain Web materials should include these responsibilities. Materials in the Georgetown Web structure are at all times open to review, and violations of these principles will be referred to the appropriate University authorities. Web developers will be held accountable for all materials within their directories, and failure to abide by these principles could result in removal of the files or directories in question from the Georgetown Web structure and other appropriate disciplinary action. Where warranted, suspected violations of University policies or federal, state, or local laws or regulations will be referred to appropriate authorities. This document has been approved by the Administrative Working Group and the Executive Committee of the President's Cabinet.
