Status of the production sites
- Netarchive - technical update (Mikis):
- Step 2 of the current broad crawl has been stop because of a critical bottleneck in the 3.18 system (NAS-2051@jira). The 3.18.3 release should fix this.
- Netarchive - curator update (Sabine):
- We started our broad crawl number 1/2012 on 2012-02-22, first step with a limit of 10 MB per domain.
- We are experimenting with download/archiving of videos from YouTube with Greasemonkey for Firefox.We download ‘Download YouTube Videos as MP4’ from http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25105. The “operation” seems to be successfull. The big challenge is: how can users view this video files from the archive.
- We started an event harvest on a right-wing extremist demonstration that will take place in Aarhus on 2012-03-31
- BNF - curator update (Peter):
Harvest for the 2012 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections
- We have already started to harvest websites for the elections. As the candidates use social networks massively, we conducted special analyses about Facebook and Twitter. We had no problem with Facebook but Twitter was a real nightmare with redirections and # in the URL. Fortunately we manage to harvest it thanks to a special profile (without the mention Mozilla in the user agent), four times per day. However we have not yet resolved the problem of its access in the wayback machine.
- We have made also a focus on videos, especially the platform Dailymotion. With a Beanshell script, we succeed in crawling more than 17 000 videos in two days. We'll use the same solution for our big Dailymotion harvest at the end of the month.
- ONB:
- Domain crawl has been finished. We are now going to recrawl some broken jobs due to server crashes. Afterwards we will start analysing the data.
- Literature crawl is still on hold after complaints and discussion about legal deposit legislation (for political reasons).
Michaela is back from holidays and will seek permission for travels to IIPC GA.
Date for next joint tele-conference.
- April 24th 13-14.
