1. Mixing web and digitized archives The future of digital heritage of the World War I Valérie Beaudouin (Telecom ParisTech), Philippe Chevallier (BnF), Lionel Maurel (BDIC), Clément Oury (BnF) IIPC – 19 mai 2014

2. CONTEXT & METHODOLOGY

3. OUR RESEARCH PROJECT’S STORY  A question for the Libraries & Archives: How is their digital heritage disseminated and re-used by the public on the web?  Identification of a « non-traditional » use of the digitized heritage : Gallica’s (the BnF digital library) top feeder sites.  Lauching a research program in the context of the Cluster of Excellence (labex) “Pasts in the Present: history, heritage, memory”, Investissements d’avenir, ANR-11-LABX-0026-01 2 Libraries: Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) & Bibliothèque de documentation internationale contemporaine (BDIC). 2 Research Institutes: Télécom Paris-Tech & Institut des sciences sociales du politique (ISP). The future of online digitized heritage: the case of the World War I (2013-2016)

4. A NEW DEVICE … to allow us to adress three problems: epistemological : how to constitute a corpus of websites? technical : how to collect the web to analyse it? juridical : what legal framework for conducting such a work?

5. MAPPING THE WEB OF WORLD WAR I

6. Building a corpus – List of web sites dedicated to WWI established by librarians – Archiving the web sites on a regular basis Exploring the web archives of WWI – Detection of links between websites – Identification of documentary ressources cited (public vs private archives) Linking with Gallica audience measurement – What are the websites dedicated to WWI which generate traffic on Gallica ?

7. FORUM : A SPACE FOR DISCUSSION ON WWI

8. Pages 14-18 A space for discussion on WWI

9. Forum as a space for discussing documents – Which types of sources? : public institutions (Gallica, Mémoire des hommes, BDIC) vs individual mementos – How are these documents shared, cited, commented? – Who is in charge of transmitting the digitized archives?

10. « ALBUMS VALOIS » : TRACKING THE DISSEMINATION OF THIS COLLECTION

11. « Albums Valois » : a case study BDIC : 539 albums gathering pictures taken on the front lines during the Great War – Digitization in progress – Uploading in nov 2014  How will the images spread on the Web?  Definition (in progress) of the protocol

12. Definition of an experimental protocol Corpus – Samples of photographs of similar content Kinds of dissemination modalities according to : – Locus : social network, organizations’ websites, etc. – Editorializing : metadata, comments, etc. Tools for observation and analysis: – Quantitative : metrics – Qualitative : observation

13. Conclusion A research protocol steering clear of both Big data approach and subjective evaluation: – A research question – Careful methodology : corpus definition, selection and evaluation of tools. A reactive and collective process : – Requiring computer and social sciences competences – Requiring cooperation between researchers and librarians – Scalable Hope : to be able to share experimental results and protocols with other teams working on other corpora.
