Enabling Memento for a Wayback Archive
Steps
- Release notes for the Wayback software are at http://archive-access.sourceforge.net/projects/wayback/release_notes.html.
- The Wayback Machine software is available from the Internet Archive's SourceForge repository: http://sourceforge.net/projects/archive-access/files/wayback/.
- Download and install version 1.6 (or higher).
- Activate Memento support as follows:
- Uncomment the Memento section in the wayback.xml configuration file. Doing so enables two Memento-related beans: one for the datetime content negotiation component
of Memento, one for its discovery component.
- Update the URIs of the access points exposed by each bean to reflect the URI of your archive, i.e. edit http://localhost.archive.org:8080/memento/ and http://localhost.archive.org:8080/list/ to reflect your situation.
- Assuming the aforementioned URIs were edited to become http://an.arxiv.org/memento/ and http://an.arxiv.org/list/, respectively, then Memento access points would be as follows:
- Base URL for TimeGates: http://an.arxiv.org/memento/timegate/
- Base URL for TimeMaps serialized as application/link-format: http://an.arxiv.org/list/timemap/link/
- Base URL for TimeMaps expressed in an RDF serialization: http://an.arxiv.org/list/timebundle/
- Please share problems with activating Memento in the Wayback software or with its Memento functionality on the memento-dev list.
