is largely invisible

•The common belief that the publisher’s job is done on publication of the “final” version

•A proliferation of versions of content online that are not stewarded

•Trust metrics have not been established on the web

• If the copy is publisher-maintained and whether there have been any corrections

• Where the publisher-maintained version is

• Other metadata the publisher chooses to include
