Arquivo.pt automatically identified R&D project websites to preserve their content. It preserved 52 million web files (7 TB) related to science for future access.

R&D websites publish valuable information but are being lost

Online information related to R&D projects is not being fully documented. For example, information about the URLs of projects funded by the 7th Framework Program (FP7) available at the European Union’s Open Data Portal is missing for 92% of the projects.

Arquivo.pt automatically identified URLs related to Research and Development projects

The main objective of Arquivo.pt is to preserve online information for scientific and academic purposes. Therefore, it developed a pragmatic and low-cost process that automatically identifies URLs related to R&D projects to be systematically preserved. Automatic identification is achieved through the combination of open data sets with free search services. This work is detailed in an article published at the International Conference on Digital Preservation 2016.

All the data sets and tools developed during this research have been made publicly available in open access so that they can be reused and collaboratively enhanced.

52 million web files related to science were preserved

Contributions to complement the European Open Data Portal data sets

The developed process was applied to the data sets published through the European Open Data Portal to try to complement the missing information regarding project URLs. The obtained results showed that the completeness of the FP7 data set was improved by 86.6%.

All the resulting data sets were made publicly available so that they can be improved and reused by other organizations also interested on preserving this digital heritage (FP4, FP5, FP6, FP7).

“How can my blog stay in the Digital History of Portugal?” Is the starting question for this meeting dedicated to digital preservation.

On the 23rd February 2017, the FCCN unit of the FCT, in Lisbon, responsible for Arquivo.pt, hosted a free training session for bloggers in the areas of technology, lifestyle and fashion. Under the motto of working to leave their blogs in the history of the Portuguese Web, this set of bloggers joined the research infrastructure Arquivo.pt attending sessions on digital preservation techniques
