The Online presence of the Danish public sector from 2010 to 2022: Generating an archived web corpus

Abstract

This chapter presents the generation of a web archive corpus with the purpose of studying the development of Danish public sector websites from 2010 to 2022. Websites constitute an important element in shaping electronic governments. Few studies have carried out longitudinal studies of government websites based on archived web materials. In this study, which spans three levels of administration, archived web data is gathered to analyze governments at the local, regional, and national levels in Denmark across four selected years.
