Having done the assignment including the annotated bibliographies in a separate post I will not post them here as well. But, considering which 'body' of information (ie. the original 'snapshot' of the site, or my own, annotated, analytical version) would be most useful to refer back to, the answer is of course the latter. It is a consise summary of the site in my own words and helps me recall instantly the subject of the site.
In term of external users (i.e. if I included this site as a hyperlink or resource on a website) which body of information would best help them judge if the site was useful or of interest to them, well I think the answer is still my summary. I think a summary prepared by a human has to be better, more informative and concise than a search engine that just picks up a sentence which happens to contain the search word(s)and displays it. But having said that, it really depends whether the user is the type to stop and read this material and whether they value my judgement. They can only do this if they have an appreciation of my qualifications and motives.
