Secondly, in order to obtain common agreement on the domains and specific items within each domain of the evaluation criteria questions and comments from 10 experts were gathered three times. Through statistical analysis and telephone communication with the experts, the domains and their items of the evaluation criteria were determined and established. Specifically, eight domains resulted and they were: (1) data accuracy, (2) content, (3) education, (4) user-friendliness, (5) architecture, (6) design, (7) interactive, and (8) website management, and these domains were sub-divided into 57 items.
