论文摘要
这些档案释放了项目旨在通过涉及工具创建,过程建模和社区建设的多管齐下策略来改善对网络档案的学术访问,这都同时进行了共同强化的努力。随着我们最初构想的三年项目的结束,我们报告了我们的进步并分享一路上学到的教训。本文所阐明的主要贡献是将学术询问分解为四个主要活动的过程模型:滤波器,提取,聚集和可视化。基于这样的见解:这些活动可以在时间,空间和工具之间进行分解,因此可以使用我们的档案释放工具包生成“衍生产品”,这些工具包可以作为学术询问的有用起点。学者可以从档案中下载这些产品,就像任何其他数据集一样释放云并操纵它们,从而在不需要任何专业知识的情况下提供对Web档案的访问。在过去的几年中,我们的平台从约200名用户处理了一千多种不同的收藏,总计280多个网络档案。
The Archives Unleashed project aims to improve scholarly access to web archives through a multi-pronged strategy involving tool creation, process modeling, and community building - all proceeding concurrently in mutually-reinforcing efforts. As we near the end of our initially-conceived three-year project, we report on our progress and share lessons learned along the way. The main contribution articulated in this paper is a process model that decomposes scholarly inquiries into four main activities: filter, extract, aggregate, and visualize. Based on the insight that these activities can be disaggregated across time, space, and tools, it is possible to generate "derivative products", using our Archives Unleashed Toolkit, that serve as useful starting points for scholarly inquiry. Scholars can download these products from the Archives Unleashed Cloud and manipulate them just like any other dataset, thus providing access to web archives without requiring any specialized knowledge. Over the past few years, our platform has processed over a thousand different collections from about two hundred users, totaling over 280 terabytes of web archives.
