Memento Protocol Information

The Icelandic Web Archive is accessible via the Memento "Time Travel for the Web" protocol. Hence, it supports datetime negotiation to access a version of a web resource as it existed at a specific moment in time. Check out the brief introduction to Memento if you are not familiar with it.

Presuming the Original Resource (current version) is http://www.government.is, then the resources that are relevant for the Memento protocol are:

TimeGate: http://wayback.vefsafn.is/wayback/http://www.government.is
Memento: http://wayback.vefsafn.is/wayback/20140322033300/http://www.government.is/ ; etc.
TimeMap: http://wayback.vefsafn.is/wayback/timemap/link/http://www.government.is

Integration with the Original Dataset

The original dataset is the Icelandic web. In responses to HTTP requests, Web resources typically don't provide a Link header with a "timegate" link to point at their TimeGate at the Icelandic Web Archive.
