Present Meets Past: Analysis of Internet Archive Quality

摘要

Web archives are powerful sources that could be used in many projects, to help improve the web quality. In this paper, we assess the quality and the capabilities of using the Internet Archive in domain-specific development. We implemented conference calendarium, the web system that provides the functionality of retrieving archived information about scientific conferences. The system was tested on ACM and IEEE conference portals. We analysed conference domain ontology regarding development of our system. Finally, we conclude that utilization of the past web pages can significantly improve quality of searching and browsing.
