"What is the impact of World Wide Web sites on the overall information
resource of the Internet? What differences are made by the cultural,
linguistic and geographic areas that the sites originate from? To what
extent are the Internet information resources of the Spanish language
world recognised in the largely English language world of the Internet?
This paper reports on a study of the impact and influence of
the web sites of educational and research organisations in Australasia and
Latin America. Both these areas border the Pacific Ocean, and have
economic and cultural similarities, but also are divided by language and
culture."
