16 Crawling the Web and web repositories

17 First developed in fall of 2005 Available for download at www2006.org – first lost website reconstructed (Nov 2005)www2006.org DCkickball.org – first website someone else reconstructed without our help (late Jan 2006)DCkickball.org – first website we reconstructed for someone else (mid Mar 2006) Internet Archive officially endorses Warrick (mid Mar 2006)

18 How Much Did We Reconstruct? A “Lost” web site Reconstructed web site BC DEF A B’C’ GE F Missing link to D; points to old resource G F can’t be found Four categories of recovered resources: 1) Identical: A, E 2) Changed: B, C 3) Missing: D, F 4) Added: G

19 Reconstruction Diagram added 20% identical 50% changed 33% missing 17%

20 Reconstruction Experiment Crawl and reconstruct 24 sites of various sizes: 1. small (1-150 resources) 2. medium ( resources) 3. large (500+ resources) Perform 5 reconstructions for each website –One using all four repositories together –Four using each repository separately Calculate reconstruction vector for each reconstruction (changed%, missing%, added%)

22 Recovery Success by MIME Type

23 Repository Contributions

24 Current & Future Work Building a web interface for Warrick Currently crawling & reconstructing 300 randomly sampled websites each week –Move from descriptive model to proscriptive & predictive model Injecting server-side functionality into WI –Recover the PHP code, not just the HTML

25 Time & Queries

26 Traditional Web Crawler

27 Web-Repository Crawler

28 Limitations Web crawling Limit hit rate per host Websites periodically unavailable Portions of website off- limits (robots.txt, passwords) Deep web Spam Duplicate content Flash and JavaScript interfaces Crawler traps Web-repo crawling Limit hit rate per repo Limited hits per day (API query quotas) Repos periodically unavailable Flash and JavaScript interfaces Can only recover what repos have stored Lossy format conversions (thumb nail images, HTMLlized PDFs, etc.)
