The work of prepar

18、ing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in li

19、aison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Di

20、rectives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility th

For the past 10 years, memory storage organizations have tried to find the most appropriate ways to collect and keep track of this vast quantity of important material using web-scale tools such as web crawlers. A web crawler is a program that browses the web in an automated manner accord

Storing and managing the bi

27、llions of saved web page objects itself presents a challenge.At the same time, those same organizations have a rising need to archive large numbers of digital files not necessarily captured from the web (e.g. entire series of electronic journals, or data generated by environmental sensing equipment)

28、. A general requirement that appears to be emerging is for a container format that permits one file simply and safely to carry a very large number of constituent data objects for the purpose of storage, management, and exchange. Those data objects (or resources) need to be of unrestricted type (incl

29、uding many binary types for audio, CAD, compressed files, etc.), but fortunately the container needs only minimal knowledge of the nature of the objects.The WARC (Web ARChive) file format offers a convention for concatenating multiple resource records (data objects), each consisting of a set of simp

30、le text headers and an arbitrary data block into one long file. The WARC format is an extension of the ARC file format (ARC) that has traditionally been used to store “web crawls” as sequences of content blocks harvested from the World Wide Web. Each capture in an ARC file is preceded by a one-line

31、header that very briefly describes the harvested content and its length. This is directly followed by the retrieval protocol response messages and content. The original ARC format file has been used by the Internet Archive (IA) since 1996 for managing billions of objects, and by several national lib

32、raries.The motivation to extend the ARC format arose from the discussion and experiences of the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC), whose members include the national libraries of Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, The British Library (UK)

33、, The Library of Congress (USA), and the Internet Archive (IA). The California Digital Library and the Los Alamos National Laboratory also provided input on extending and generalizing the format.The WARC format offers a standard way to structure, manage and store billions of resources collected from

34、 the web and elsewhere. It is used to build applications for harvesting, managing, accessing, mining and exchanging content. While it represents the unique standard format for web archives, it has been adopted beyond the web archiving community to store born-digital or digitized materials. The way W

35、ARC files will be created and resources stored and rendered will depend on software and applications implementations.Besides the primary content recorded in ARCs, the extended WARC format accommodates related secondary content, such as assigned metadata, abbreviated duplicate detection events, later

36、-date transformations, and segmentation of large resources. The extension may also be useful for more general applications than web archiving. To aid the development of tools that are backwards compatible, WARC content is clearly distinguishable from pre-revision ARC content.The WARC file format is

37、made sufficiently different from the legacy ARC format files so that software tools can unambiguously detect and correctly process both WARC and ARC records; given the large amount of existing archival data in the previous ARC format, it is important that access and use of this legacy not be interru
