I think it is a mistake to include "document.webpage", personal or
organizational. I mean, what is that? What about webpages that are thesis
papers, or webpages that are essays, or factsheets, or any of the other
resource types included? A better solution is to remove this term
altogether, and thus remove ambiguity. Replace document.webpage.personal
with document.personal (or document.biography.personal) or
document.homepage (with homepage having a somewhat clearer meaning as "page
generally containing personal/autobiographical information along with
personal viewpoints and discussions, and personal photos").
For webpages that use the web's many specific interactive strengths to
create content, you might use consistent subcategories such as
monograph.hypertextual.
