Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This chapter presents the design of a heritage tourism Web portal. Factor analysis is used to identify how the navigation tools are to be grouped. Correlation analysis additionally identifies methods of grouping the navigation functionalities to substantiate the decision. Statistical analysis lends support to the reliability of the data used in the study. Examples are given about how heritage portal navigation functionality can be developed as hierarchical layered portal pages. Additionally, the perceptual map shows the layout and proximity of the portal functionalities.
