Invited Talk: Dr. Tian Xia
- Title: The practice and inspiration of Web Archiving in
China
- Abstract: Much of information published on the Web is
unique and historically valuable, therefore archiving Web content is
an important task for social memory. This talk will introduce some
typical Web archiving projects carried out by libraries, archives and
scientific research institutions in China. The contributions and
valuable lessons from these projects will be discussed, so we can get
the key factors affecting the success of Web archiving projects. It
can be expected that institutional Web Archiving with limited
objectives, clear responsibilities and utilization-driven
characteristics will become the mainstream of Web Archiving in China.
- CV: Dr. Xia is an Associate Professor at School of
Information Resource Management, Renmin University of China, and a
research fellow at Key Laboratory of Data Engineering and Knowledge
Engineering, MOE, China. His research interests include information
retrieval, Web mining, electronic record management and semantic Web.
He has published more than 40 papers and 6 books in the fields of LIS
and archival science.
Invited Panel:
- Title: Making, Using, and Exploring Web Archives: Tales from
Scholars & Practitioners
- Moderator: Vicky Steeves, New York University
- Alexander Nwala, Old Dominion University
- Genevieve Milliken, New York University
- Emily Maemura, University of Toronto
- Karen Hansen, Ithaka/Portico
- Meghan Lyon, Library of Congress
- Abstract: Web archiving has contributed immensely to the digital
preservation landscape, allowing for a wider range of materials to be
saved for greater reuse. A remaining and bustling area of work in web
archiving includes capturing dynamic and complex content hosted on the
web with high fidelity. This type of preservation activity not only
has major technical barriers, but also social and legal ones too. This
panel will bring together practitioners from computer, library, and
information sciences to discuss how web archiving has been applied to
save complex digital objects, such as eBooks, source code and its
contextual ephemera, and many more. Panelists will discuss not only
the current state of the art in web archiving complex material, but
also the interoperability of web archiving technology and how that
might help facilitate the reuse of web archives.

Description:
Due to COVID-19, JCDL 2020 will be held virtually with online sessions and discussions. WADL 2020 will also be moved entirely online.
WADL 2020 will continue the WADL tradition to provide a forum and collaboration platform for international leaders from academia, industry, and government to discuss challenges, and share insights, in designing and implementing concepts, tools, and standards in the realm of web archiving. Together, we will explore the integration of web archiving and digital libraries, over the complete digital resource life cycle: creation/authoring, uploading, publishing on the web, crawling/collecting, compressing, formatting, storing, preserving, analyzing, indexing, supporting access, etc.
WADL 2020 will cover all topics of interest, including but not limited to:
- Archival metadata, description, classification
- Archival standards, protocols, systems, tools
- Community building
- Crawling of dynamic, online art, and mobile content
- Discovery of archived resources
- Diversity in web archives
- Ethics in web archiving
- Event archiving and collection building
- Extraction and analysis of archival records
- Interoperability of web archiving systems
- National and international perspectives on web archiving
- Social media archiving
Objectives:
- Continue to build the diverse community of people integrating web archiving with digital libraries
- Help attendees learn about useful methods, systems, and software in this area
- Help chart future research and practice in this area, to enable more and higher quality web archiving
- Promote synergistic efforts including collaborative projects and proposals
- Produce an archival publication that will help advance technology and practice
