Arquivo.pt has launched services Innovative add-ons that help organizations optimize their operations. The new version of Arquivo.pt, called "Helios," was launched on November 13th and includes improvements to Arquivo404 and CitationSaver.
Arquivo404 with new methods for defining time intervals
THE File404 is a service that presents website users with links to archived versions, instead of laconic "Page not found" error messages. Sometimes it's necessary to specify which version of an archived page should be displayed. For example, a website's domain may have belonged to another entity in the past, and you want to display only the archived versions since the website became the property of its current owners.
For this purpose, 3 new methods have been released to configure Arquivo404:
- setMinimumDate(minDate : Date) – Specifies the earliest date of the archived version of the URL that can be served.
- setMaximumDate(maxDate : Date) – Specifies the latest date of the archived version of the URL that can be served.
- setMostRelevantMemento(criterion : 'oldest' | 'most-recent') – specifies the order in which archived versions are retrieved from the web archive. By default, the oldest version is displayed.
Arquivo404 now allows you to define whether you want to show the user the oldest or most recent archived page., within a certain time interval.
CitationSaver processes HTML documents
THE CitationSaver is a service that extracts citations from documents to online resources and archives them. This service is particularly useful for maintaining the integrity of scientific articles and the reproducibility of the experiments and studies described in them.
Many open-access articles are published in hypertext format (HTML). CitationSaver now processes documents in HTML format, in addition to PDF and TXT formats. If a user finds an article on the web that contains citations to online resources, they simply enter the article's page address into CitationSaver. The addresses (URLs) will be extracted and archived so they don't get lost.
