  26. Conclusion From the study following constraints are revealed • These web based services do not follow any standards in organizing community information resources and services are not multilingual. • Approaches are not integrated. • Efforts are isolated and experimental in nature. In this circumstances a standard category list is required for organizing community information resources. It may help structured browsing in digital CIS
