How
to find your way around www.wto.org
The
sites overall structure can be seen in the site
map.
Its divided into areas (search, registration, how
to contact the WTO, information about the organization,
news, trade topics, resources, official documents, etc).
Usually,
when you click on a link to go to one of these areas, you
arrive at a gateway page which takes you
either directly to the content of that area, or to the
next-level gateway for a specific subject within that
area (e.g. to agriculture within trade
topics).
Navigation:
several routes to same material Back to top
Looking
for the text of the Agriculture Agreement? You could go
through trade topics >
agriculture or through resources
> legal texts. Whatever you find logical.
All
the main links are at the top of the page (in the
banner area). They are mainly
self-explanatory, offering links to various areas of the
site, alternative languages. Then, on the coloured bar
on the left-hand side there are links to
headings within the current page. Below the coloured bar,
on the right-hand side, there are footprints
(sometimes called breadcrumbs) to help you
back-track towards the homepage.
For
a group of pages that are related to each other, links
from the page you are currently reading to the related
pages, are in the left margin beside the text.
Note
also:
- clicking
on the WTO logo takes you back to the homepage
- if
youre unsure what trade topics
or resources, etc includes, put your
cursor over the link in the banner and text will
appear with more details.
Where
to go? Trade topics,
Resources ... Back to top
The
WTO:
institutional information, introductions and
explanations, membership, the Secretariat, job vacancies,
technical cooperation, training.
Trade
topics:
issues covered specifically by the WTOs councils,
committees and agreements.
Eg:
GATT and goods, tariffs, agriculture, textiles, food
safety, technical regulations, antidumping, development,
environment, etc.
Resources:
analysis, data, publications, legal texts, official
documents, various services offered.
...
and official documents Back to top
You
could actually think of the WTO website as two sites. One
contains the regular web pages; the other is the Documents
Online database which
contains all WTO official documents searchable and
downloadable in MS Word (older documents in
WordPerfect).
The
two areas are different in the way information is
archived, searched and retrieved. That means they use separate
search facilities.

TIPS |
Put
your cursor over a main link or an image:
a description of the contents or some other
message appears.
Clicking
on the WTO logo at the top left takes you back to
the homepage.
For
best viewing, set your display to the maximum
number of colours (at least 256, preferrably
more).
Looking
for material in our web pages and our
documents? You must use both
search facilities.
