To perform a longitudinal investigation of web | archives and detecting variations and changes replaying | individual archived pages, or mementos, we created a sample of | 16,627 mementos from 17 public web archives. Over the course of | our 14-month study (November, 2017- January, 2019), we found that | four web archives changed their baseURIs and did not leave a | machine-readable method of locating their new base URIs, | necessitating manual rediscovery. Of the 1,981 mementos in our | sample from these four web archives, 537 were impacted: 517 | mementos were rediscovered but with changes in their time of | archiving(or Memento-Datetime), HTTP status code, or the string | comprising their original URI (or URI-R), and 20 of the mementos | could not be found at all._ | bfirsh wrote: | If you don't want to read a PDF: https://www.arxiv- | vanity.com/papers/2108.05939/ | sam0x17 wrote: | If you don't want to read the title: "Where did the web | archive go?" | Bilal_io wrote: | If you don't want to read: | justinator wrote: | If: | [deleted] | midwestemo wrote: | junon wrote: | This isn't reddit.
