Policies and technologies to digital preservation in webarchiving

Abstract

The objective of this paper was to analyze digital preservation from the web archiving approach, addressing the technologies involved in the archiving process, as well as policies for the selection, preservation and availability of these contents, as well as the study of international institutions that work on preservation of the web. The methodology uses bibliographic and documentary research on international archival web initiatives and aims to foment the discussion in Brazil, as well as to serve as a subsidy for applied studies. It analyzes the scientific publications based on Scopus journals of the last five years (2012-2016) that deal with web archiving, web content selection policies and technologies applied to the harvest, storage and access to archiv ed website s. It also provides an overview of the technologies used by the community of web archiving initiatives, based on the identification of the data available on the web site of the International Internet Preservation Consortium. It concludes that countries that do not yet have their own initiatives, such as Brazil, with the establishment of selection policies with specific approaches (institutional, thematic, domain, etc.), as well as web archive adoption of open source technologies can not only preserve your digital memory but also contribute to the international web archiving community.
