• Project Duration 30 months
• Beginning 1st January 2011
• Total eligible costs 4,174,583.00
• Requested EU Contribution 3,165,000.00

Objectives

• Key Objective
• BlogForever will develop robust digital
  preservation, management and dissemination
  facilities for weblogs.
• These facilities will be able to capture the
  dynamic and continuously evolving nature of
  weblogs, their network and social structure, and
  the exchange of concepts and ideas that they
  foster pieces of information omitted by current
  Web Archiving methods and solutions.
• Scientific and Technological Objectives
• Study weblog structure and semantics
• Define a robust digital preservation policy for
  weblogs
• Implement a weblog digital repository
• Implement specific case studies

5
Advances to the state of the art

• ?
• Definition of a generic data model for weblog
  metadata and semantics
• Weblog digital preservation strategies
• Weblog spider
• Weblog digital repository web application
