Dynamic web content is a challenge to archive, because the underlying web technologies are constantly advancing. For example, new JavaScript frameworks and Scalable Vector Graphics web elements make the capabilities of archiving tools a moving target. ...

We developed TrendMachine, a Sigmoid function-based mathematical model, for temporal assessment of various aspects of a webpage using web archival observations. We implemented an open-source interactive tool powered by the TrendMachine model to analyze ...

People often create themed collections to make sense of an ever-increasing number of archived web pages. Some of these collections contain hundreds of thousands of documents. Thousands of collections exist, many covering the same topic. Few collections ...

Web archiving is serving the task of knowledge preservation for the ever changing state of the web. The Memento protocol provides a unified approach to access versions of web resources across heterogeneous archives and repositories. The discovery of ...

Users rely on their web browser to provide information about the websites they are visiting, such as the security state of the web page their viewing. Current browsers do not differentiate between the live Web and the past Web. If a user loads an ...

Prior work on web archive profiling were focused on Archival Holdings to describe what is present in an archive. This work defines and explores Archival Voids to establish a means to represent portions of URI spaces that are not present in a web archive. ...

Services and applications based on the Memento Aggregator can suffer from slow response times due to the federated search across web archives performed by the Memento infrastructure. In an effort to decrease the response times, we established a cache ...

In this work we proposed MementoMap, a flexible and adaptive framework to summarize holdings of a web archive efficiently. We described a simple, yet extensible, file format suitable for MementoMap. We used the complete index of the Arquivo.pt ...

Mementos carry personal symbolic meaning and can be used to privately reflect on the past or share memories[28]. Older adults spend much time collecting mementos but spend less time telling stories behind the mementos. Once they pass away, stories ...

We compare and contrast three different ways to implement an archival replay banner. We propose an implementation that utilizes Custom Elements and adds some unique behaviors, not common in existing archival replay systems, to enhance the user ...

ArchiveNow is a Python module for preserving web pages in on-demand web archives. This module allows a user to submit a URI of a web page for archiving at several configured web archives. Once the web page is captured, ArchiveNow provides the user with ...

Personal and private Web archives are proliferating due to the increase in the tools to create them and the realization that Internet Archive and other public Web archives are unable to capture personalized (e.g., Facebook) and private (e.g., banking) ...

Event collections are frequently built by crawling the live web on the basis of seed URIs nominated by human experts. Focused web crawling is a technique where the crawler is guided by reference content pertaining to the event. Given the dynamic nature ...

Memento TimeMaps [5] list identifiers for archival web captures (URI-Ms). When some URI-Ms are dereferenced, they redirect to a different URI-M instead of a unique representation at the datetime. This suggests that confidently obtaining an accurate ...

We use the ServiceWorker (SW) API to intercept HTTP requests for embedded resources and reconstruct Composite Mementos without the need for conventional URL rewriting typically performed by web archives. URL rewriting is a problem for archival replay ...

The web is today's primary publication medium, making web archiving an important activity for historical and analytical purposes. Web pages are increasingly interactive, resulting in pages that are correspondingly difficult to archive. JavaScript ...

To facilitate permanence and collaboration in web archives, we built InterPlanetary Wayback to disseminate the contents of WARC files into the IPFS network. IPFS is a peer-to-peer content-addressable file system that inherently allows deduplication and ...

The Memento protocol makes it easy to build a uniform lookup service to aggregate the holdings of web archives. However, there is a lack of tools to utilize this capability in archiving applications and research projects. We created MemGator, an open ...

The Memento protocol provides a uniform approach to query individual web archives. Soon after its emergence, Memento Aggregator infrastructure was introduced that supports querying across multiple archives simultaneously. An Aggregator generates a ...

Many current wearables have a technology-driven background: the focus is primarily on functionality, while their possible personal and social-cultural value is underappreciated. We think that developing wearables from a jewellery perspective can ...
