Accessing web archives from different perspectives with potential synergies

Web archives constitute a valuable source for researchers from many disciplines. However, their sheer size, the typically broad scope and their temporal dimension make them difficult to work with. We have identified three approaches to access and explore Web archives from different perspectives: user-, data- and graph-centric. In this paper we present related works on these three views as well as discuss their relations and potential synergies. Finally, we propose a generic analysis schema that outlines a systematic way to study Web archives by ap- proaching them from different zoom levels corresponding to the three presented views.
