Inaccessible Web pages and 404 "Page Not Found" responses are a common Web phenomenon and a detriment to the user's browsing experience. The rediscovery of missing Web pages is, therefore, a relevant research topic in the digital preservation as well as in the Information Retrieval realm. In this article, we bring these two areas together by analyzing four content-and link-based methods to rediscover missing Web pages. We investigate the retrieval performance of the methods individually as well as their combinations and give an insight into how effective these methods are over time. As the main result of this work, we are able to recommend not only the best performing methods but also the sequence in which they should be applied, based on their performance, complexity required to generate them, and evolution over time. Our least complex single method results in a rediscovery rate of almost 70 % of Web pages of our sample dataset based on URIs sampled from the Open Directory Project (DMOZ). By increasing the complexity level and combining three different methods, our results show an increase of the success rate of up to 77 %. The results, based on our sample dataset, indicate that Web pages are often not completely lost but have moved to a different location and "just" need to be rediscovered.

“…External resources on the Web are highly volatile and prone to exhibit unexpected change as cases of "broken links" [1] or "linkrot" [2]. Therefore, our work has been motivated to mitigate the impact of unexpected change in documents stored in decentralized collections [3].…”

It is not unusual for documents on the Web to degrade and suffer from problems associated with unexpected change. In an analysis of the Association for Computing Machinery conference list, we found that categorizing the degree of change affecting digital documents over time is a difficult task. More specifically, we found that categorizing this degree of change is not a binary problem where documents are either unchanged or they have changed so dramatically that they do not fit within the scope of the collection. It is in part, a characterization of the intent of the change. In this paper, we present a case study that compares change detection methods based on machine learning algorithms against the assessment made by human subjects in a user study. Consequently, this paper will focus on two research questions. First, how can we categorize the various degrees of change that documents endure? And second, how did our automatic detection methods fare against the human assessment of change in the ACM conference list?

“…Vannevar Bush, in his pioneering 1945 essay "As We May Think," (Bush, 1945) envisions a time when the world's knowledge is accessible by machine, and the connections that describe the higher level relationships among sources are themselves shareable objects of scholarship. We can see this today on the Web in the utility of investigation mechanisms such as Walden's Paths (Bogen et al, 2011), where users can build linear narrative structures from online resources. This is a natural side effect of collaboration and cooperation.…”

Increasing awareness of the burdens of technical debt and the risks and costs associated with complex server infrastructures have prompted digital humanists to consider moving to purely static HTML/CSS/JS websites for projects such as online digital editions. Building static sites is not difficult, but digital editions also require sophisticated search capabilities, incorporating text search with stemming and wildcards as well as a rich array of filters tuned to the contents of the edition itself. Responding to this need, we created staticSearch, a system which builds search indexes offline with XSLT and queries them statically using JavaScript, providing a straightforward approach to search for purely static websites. This presentation will describe how staticSearch works, and discuss some of the interesting and challenging problems that such a system has to overcome.
