TL;DR
This research aims to determine how quickly archival information becomes outdated by studying how quickly it is changed in the rapidly changing environment.
Abstract
Attempting to determine how quickly archival information becomes outdated.
Keywords
Computer Science
NatureAccessibility of information on the web
1,356 Citations1999Steve Lawrence, C. Lee Giles
As the web becomes a major communications medium, the data on it must be made more accessible, and search engines need to make the data more accessible.
ComputerDigital libraries and autonomous citation indexing
614 Citations1999Sandra Lawrence, C. Lee Giles +1 more
Digital libraries incorporating ACI can help organize scientific literature and may significantly improve the efficiency of dissemination and feedback and speed the transition to scholarly electronic publishing.
Uniform Resource Locators (URL)
501 Citations1994Tim Berners‐Lee, Larry Masinter +1 more
This document specifies a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), the syntax and semantics of formalized information for location and access of resources via the Internet.
ComputerPersistence of Web references in scientific research
233 Citations2001Sandra Lawrence, D.M. Pennock +7 more
It is argued that although few critical resources have been lost to date, new strategies to manage Internet resources and improved citation practices are necessary to minimize the future loss of information.
URN Syntax
176 Citations1997R. Moats
This document sets forward the canonical syntax for URNs, and a discussion of both existing legacy and new namespaces and requirements for URN presentation and transmission are presented.
The Information SocietyElectronic journals and legitimate media in the systems of scholarly communication
112 Citations1995Rob Kling, Lisa Covi
How moving from paper to electronic distribution alters the legitimacy and perceived quality of journals is examined and the prospects for creating diverse high‐quality electronic journals in the next two decades are examined.
ACM Computing SurveysElectronic document addressing
46 Citations2000Helen Ashman
This paper surveys the strategies used both in World Wide Web software and other hypertext systems for managing the Integrity of references and hence the integrity of links, and finds some strategies are preventative, not permitting errors to occur; others are corrective, discovering references errors and sometimes attempting to correct them.
Citation linking
42 Citations1997S. Hitchcock, Leslie Carr +3 more
A new system, a link service, is described, which is being developed to support novel and flexible linking mechanisms on the Web, and which is working with journal publishers to investigate the most effective ways of applying these powerful link types to enhance online journals.
Learned PublishingE‐citations: actionable identifiers and scholarly referencing
27 Citations2000Norman Paskin
Communications of the ACMThe ACM digital library goes live
10 Citations1997Peter J. Denning
Each of these steps are helping to realize the vision first outlined three years ago in ACM's Electronic Publishing Plan and conferences are now becoming input streams to an online information space which members can access in ways tailored to their own interests.
