Description
The Memento protocol tightly integrates the Web of the Present and that of the Past, making it possible to seamlessly navigate between both. The protocol defines an interoperable approach to access versions of a resource in web archives or content management systems, such as wikis, by leveraging the URI of that resource and the datetime of the required resource version. The tutorial will cover:
- Various aspects of the Memento protocol that meanwhile has been published as RFC 7089
- How Memento closely aligns with a widely used web resource versioning mechanism
- How Memento plays a role in addressing link rot and reference rot, in general, and specifically, in scholarly communication
- Memento tools
