The CAP Classroom on the Internet
|
The CAP Classroom on the Internet, established by a member of the Citizens Advisory Panel of the Oak Ridge Reservation Local Oversight Committee, Inc., is a selection of Internet links (URLs) that provide a wealth of background information for the convenience of new CAP members or other East Tennessee citizens desiring factual information about the CERCLA remediation activities on the DOE/ORR.

Searching:
The Catalogue is designed to be searched by your Internet browser Find
function. In the Catalogue, each link is described
by a link name, a very brief annotation and a series of prefixed keywords indicating
the content of the link target. The targets may be a single set of pages or a
compendium of links to related pages. The keyword
prefixes are used to identify types of keywords such as: corporate
author, site, building, waste category, type of report, etc.
Example of a Catalogue Entry:
1. Keyword prefixes and types -Contains a list
of all keyword types and prefixes used in the CAP catalogue.
kw=keyword_prefix; kw=keyword_type.
The Find feature of your browser may be used to search for any text string in the Catalogue Entry including the link name, text in the annotation, and all keywords. Alternatively, it may limited to all keywords or to a specific class of keywords. You cannot search for the actual URL. To perform an unrestricted search, use a simple text string in the Find function. To search only for key words, preface the desired keyword (or its leading substring) by an "=" sign. To restrict the search to a specific class of keywords, preface the search string by the prefix for the desired keyword class, e.g., to locate links to pages for which ORNL is the corporate author, search for "ca=ORNL". Note that spaces in multi-word, keywords are indicated by an "_". After the first entry, subsequent entries are best found using the Find Next shortcut key. The catalogue entry serves as an abstract of the target from you can determine further interest. The liberal use of the Find function is recommended throughout the entire process including the search of the target pages.
When a link has been located it may be clicked to obtain the target or processed in any manner your browser supports. The link targets can be processed in any manner the originator intended and your browser supports. Once you are into a compendium, you are at the mercy of the page originators although individual pages can be specified by links in this catalogue if use is warranted. For repeated use the targets should be bookmarked.
The CERCLA and DOE Remediation Process Progression Chart is an aid to understanding the flow of reports and documents in the two processes that contribute to the ORR remediation. There is some rationale behind the profusion of paper.
Style: In order to gain speed, the pages of the CAP Classroom contain no graphics. The intent is to convey information as rapidly as possible. The target pages are beyond our control but you can turn off automatic graphics loading if they are agonizingly slow.
Please note that this service is just underway and some new entries may not annotated or keyworded. Also the keywording will be expanded as time goes by.
If you wish to suggest additional keywords or web pages which are of general interest, please feel free to do so. Please submit an annotated link name and keywords as well as the URL. To the degree that space is available and the material warrants it, original text pages can be accepted.
