Non-Content Features of Material in the Internet Archive

Snurb — Tuesday 24 May 2016 01:11
Internet Content Preservation | WebSci '16 |

The third presenter in this Web Science 2016 session is Tu Ngoc Nguyen, who reintroduces us to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. This is a useful service, but searching it is not necessarily straightforward. Is it possible to draw on the non-content features to improve search results?

The project drew on the full archive for the German Web, and utilised a number of assessment techniques to assess and rank documents based on twenty non-content features. I'm frankly unable to understand the numerical data presented in the tables here, but from what I do understand the use of these additional features does improve the retrievability of relevant information. Sorry!
