<shortdesc>With the arrival of the World Wide Web, traditional&#xD;methods of controlling the quality ofpublished information&#xD;have been overcome by a technology that allows almost&#xD;anyone to create and publish information. With this new&#xD;found freedom in publishing, the quality of information&#xD;available to the public has decreased when measured by&#xD;traditional publishing standards. Technical communicators&#xD;must meet new challenges in monitoring and ensuring that&#xD;information produced in their organizations and companies&#xD;is of the highest quality. This paper discusses how the&#xD;problem evolved and how taking ownership of information&#xD;on the Web may solve it.</shortdesc>
