Aspects of Web Curation
Web curation, like any digital curation, entails:
- Certification of the trustworthiness and integrity of the collection content
- Collecting verifiable Web assets
- Providing Web asset search and retrieval
- Semantic and ontological continuity and comparability of the collection content
Thus, besides the discussion on methods of collecting the Web, those of providing access, certification, and organizing must be included. There are a set of popular tools that addresses these curation steps:
A suite of tools for Web Curation by International Internet Preservation Consortium:
- Heritrix - official website - collecting Web asset
- NutchWAX - search Web archive collections
- Wayback (Open source Wayback Machine) - search and navigate Web archive collections using NutchWax
- Web Curator Tool - Selection and Management of Web Collection
Other open source tools for manipulating web archives:
- WARC Tools - for creating, reading, parsing and manipulating, web archives programmatically
- Search Tools - for indexing and searching full-text and metadata within web archives

Famous quotes containing the words aspects of, aspects and/or web:
“The happiest two-job marriages I saw during my research were ones in which men and women shared the housework and parenting. What couples called good communication often meant that they were good at saying thanks to one another for small aspects of taking care of the family. Making it to the school play, helping a child read, cooking dinner in good spirit, remembering the grocery list,... these were silver and gold of the marital exchange.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
