Web Archiving (eBook, PDF)

Produktbeschreibung

The Web has become one of the major channels for dissemination of culture and knowledge. There is a growing awareness of the need to track and archive Web content. However, the raw nature of Web content, the unpredictable remote changes that can affect it, and the growth of database-driven web sites make usual archiving and back-up procedures inefficient to preserve Web material. This book details existing methods of Web archiving as well as available technology, often inspired from other domains but adapted to the specific topic of Web archiving. It addresses three stages of archiving: building, using, and preserving.
