Web Lab Seminar:
4:15p - 5:15p
301 College Ave-Seminar Room

This seminar will provide a status report on the work, discuss the types of research that is now feasible, and discuss the future plans.

William Arms, Manuel Calimlim, Lucy Walle, Felix Weigel

The Cornell Web Lab is a long-term project to carry out research on the history of the Web. It is based on the Internet Archive's unique collection of 110 billion pages dating back to 1996. For more information, see: http://weblab.infosci.cornell.edu/.

After a considerable period of development, the Web Lab has now reached a level of maturity that it is possible to do significant research on the collections. Several complete crawls of data have been moved to Cornell and metadata entered into a very large relational database. A dedicated computer cluster is being steadily brought online; map/reduce programming makes large-scale data analysis surprisingly straightforward. Several user interfaces are now available
