本文描述了一个研究Web的研究图书馆的建设，特别是关于Web的结构和内容如何随时间变化的研究。该图书馆特别旨在支持社会科学家，对他们来说，网络既是一种迷人的社会现象，也是社会的一面镜子。该图书馆建立在互联网档案馆的收藏之上，自1996年以来，互联网档案馆每两个月就会保存一次网络爬行。组织这些用于研究的数据的技术挑战分为两类：用于传输和管理大量数据的高性能计算，以及支持非计算机专家进行研究的人机界面
This paper describes the building of a research library for studying the Web, especially research on how the structure and content of the Web change over time. The library is particularly aimed at supporting social scientists for which the Web is both a fascinating social phenomenon and a mirror on society. The library is built on the collections of the Internet archive, which has been preserving a crawl of the Web every two months since 1996. The technical challenges in organizing this data for research fall into two categories: high-performance computing to transfer and manage the very large amounts of data, and human-computer interfaces that empower research by non-computer specialists
