In this contribution, we will discuss the opportunities and challenges arising from memory institutions' need to redefine their archival strategies for contemporary collecting in a world of big data. We will reflect on this topic by critically examining the case study of the UK Web Archive, which is made up of the six UK Legal Deposit Libraries: the British Library, National Library of Scotland, National Library of Wales, Bodleian Libraries Oxford, Cambridge University Library and Trinity College Dublin. The UK Web Archive aims to archive, preserve and give access to the UK web space. This is achieved through an annual domain crawl, first undertaken in 2013, in addition to more frequent crawls of key websites and specially curated collections which date back as far as 2005. These collections reflect important aspects of British culture and events that shape society. This commentary will explore a number of questions including: what heritage is captured and what heritage is instead neglected by the UK Web archive? What heritage is created in the form of new data and what are its properties? What are the ethical issues that memory institutions face when developing these web archiving practices? What transformations are required to overcome such challenges and what institutional futures can we envisage?

大数据世界中当代收集的档案策略:策划英国网络档案馆的挑战与机遇

在此贡献中,我们将讨论存储机构需要重新定义其存档策略以在大数据世界中进行当代收集的机遇和挑战。我们将通过仔细研究UK Web Archive的案例研究来思考这个话题,该案例由英国的六个法律保管图书馆组成:大英图书馆,苏格兰国家图书馆,威尔士国家图书馆,牛津大学Bodleian图书馆,剑桥大学都柏林三一学院图书馆。UK Web Archive旨在存档,保留并提供对UK Web空间的访问权限。这是通过在2013年首次进行的年度域名抓取,以及对可追溯到2005年的关键网站和特别策划的馆藏的更频繁抓取来实现。这些收藏反映了英国文化和塑造社会的事件的重要方面。该评论将探讨许多问题,包括:英国网络档案馆捕获了哪些遗产,而忽略了哪些遗产?以新数据的形式创建了哪些遗产,其性质是什么?内存机构在开发这些Web归档实践时面临哪些道德问题?克服这些挑战需要进行哪些变革?我们可以设想什么样的机构前途?英国网络档案馆捕获了什么遗产,而忽略了什么遗产?以新数据的形式创建了哪些遗产,其性质是什么?内存机构在开发这些Web归档实践时面临哪些道德问题?克服这些挑战需要进行哪些变革?我们可以设想什么样的机构前途?英国网络档案馆捕获了什么遗产,而忽略了什么遗产?以新数据的形式创建了哪些遗产,其性质是什么?内存机构在开发这些Web归档实践时面临哪些道德问题?克服这些挑战需要进行哪些变革?我们可以设想什么样的机构前途?
