BlogForever: Aiming to Preserve the Value of Blogs

Abstract:

The BlogForever collaborative European research project completed its first deliverables. This presentation covers some of the initial results that inform the primary goals of the project in developing facilities for robust digital preservation, management and dissemination of blogs. Unlike other web preservation initiatives, such as Internet Archive, BlogForever aims to capture the dynamic and continuously evolving nature of weblogs, their network and social structure. This presentation covers some of the challenges and potential solutions that are relevant to blog preservation initiatives with a wide range of stakeholders. Given the fact that lossless preservation of blogs in their entirety remains unrealistic and unsustainable this presentation is aiming to generate a discussion on what to preserve and why.
