report on KB user survey by Marcel Ras
=======================-

web archiving project in second phase - enbedding the infrastructure and scaling up 3,000 unique sites by end of 2008

dutch web - 2,5 mill domains, 4th largest ccTLD (.uk, .de, .eu), 65% domains have actove websites, approx 500 million files

selective full domain harvests opt-out approach - message to webmaster "KB will start archiving if objections let us know" - obeys robots.txt

contents and the use of a web archive are closely connected

User Survey - who is the use and what does this uer want

target group analysis

UK survey - presented by Jackson Pope
----------------------------------

Britain does not have legal deposit - no expectation anything before April 2009 that will allow gathering of anything

spoke with 60 members of staff followed by workshops of 10-12 people
email and face-to-face with researchers
usability lab
surveys of existing users, librarians and others

must haves - google-like search - temporal locality - persistent URLs - timeline in search results - compliance with accessibility guidelines - stable software with minimal MTTR and MTBF

Oral Report from Bnf - Gildas
-------------------------
about to provide access in reading rooms
testing implementation of NutchWAX and Wayback
by end of this year they expect legal deposit


integration scenario - button alongside e-journals and e-resources

workshops and training because archive will be accessible in all reading rooms but will build up progressively - one access point in each region of france also

use case requirements - by necessity followed a pop of 20 students for 14 weeks - they had an assignment that required them to use the web archives - had a subject to research over a long period - ability to adjust

combine full text indexing with URL index - then can concentrate full text indexing on portions of the archives to be used as 'gateways'

no leakage to live web
need to access live and dead at the same time
time dimension issue
support w3c accessibility standards
user tagging and user annotation

report from LAC - Pam Armstrong
-----------------------------
collected quebec youtube
couple of months till open online access to GoC wen archive - with Wayback
need to watermark some document eg PDFs because you can't banner them
want to support upgrade path for Wayback that does not use javascript

warc tools proposal - Mark Middleton
--------------------------------
