Mixing web and digitized archivesThe future of digital heritage of the World War I Valérie Beaudouin (Telecom ParisTech), Philippe Chevallier (BnF), Lionel Maurel (BDIC), Clément Oury (BnF) IIPC – 19 mai 2014
OUR researchproject’s story • A question for the Libraries & Archives: How istheirdigital heritage disseminated and re-used by the public on the web? • Identification of a « non-traditional » use of the digitizedheritage: Gallica’s(the BnF digital library)top feeder sites. • Lauching a research program in the context of the Cluster of Excellence (labex) “Pasts in the Present: history, heritage, memory”, Investissements d’avenir, ANR-11-LABX-0026-01 The future of online digitized heritage: the case of the World War I (2013-2016) 2 Libraries: Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) & Bibliothèque de documentation internationale contemporaine (BDIC). 2 Research Institutes: Télécom Paris-Tech & Institut des sciences sociales du politique (ISP).
A NEW DEVICE • … to allow us to adressthreeproblems: • epistemological:how to constitute a corpus of websites? • technical:how to collect the web to analyse it? • juridical:whatlegalframework for conductingsuch a work?
Building a corpus • List of web sites dedicated to WWI established by librarians • Archiving the web sites on a regular basis • Exploring the web archives of WWI • Detection of links between websites • Identification of documentary ressources cited (public vs private archives) • Linking with Gallica audience measurement • What are the websites dedicated to WWI which generate traffic on Gallica ?
Pages 14-18 A space for discussion on WWI
Forum as a space for discussing documents • Which types of sources? : public institutions (Gallica, Mémoire des hommes, BDIC) vs individual mementos • How are these documents shared, cited, commented? • Who is in charge of transmitting the digitized archives?
« Albums Valois » : tracking the dissemination of this collection
« Albums Valois » : a case study • BDIC : 539 albums gathering pictures taken on the front lines during the Great War • Digitization in progress • Uploading in nov 2014 • How will the images spread on the Web? • Definition (in progress) of the protocol
Definition of an experimental protocol • Corpus • Samples of photographs of similar content • Kinds of disseminationmodalitiesaccording to : • Locus : social network, organizations’ websites, etc. • Editorializing : metadata, comments, etc. • Tools for observation and analysis: • Quantitative : metrics • Qualitative : observation
Conclusion • A researchprotocolsteeringclear of bothBig data approach and subjective evaluation: • A research question • Carefulmethodology : corpus definition , selection and evaluation of tools. • A reactive and collective process : • Requiring computer and social sciences competences • Requiringcooperationbetweenresearchers and librarians • Scalable • Hope : to be able to shareexperimentalresults and protocolswithother teams working on othercorpora.
