SGER, year II: A Web Sociologist's Workbench

摘要提案ID: IIS-0735129PI: Garcia-Molina， HectorInstitution: Stanford university标题：SGER二年级：网络社会学家的工作台该SGER项目正在构建集成工具，帮助社会科学家分析万维网内容的大时间序列快照。这些数据为社会科学家研究新课题提供了新的手段。这项探索性的工作汇集了斯坦福大学计算机科学系和政治科学系的教师。计算机学院开发了一个可操作的Web档案收集和存储系统。该工具专门用于从相同的Web站点反复收集材料并将其存储以供后续的时间序列分析。这被认为是社会科学研究的重要新资源。计算机科学的中心问题是所收集资料的大规模和内容的异质性。

AbstractProposal ID: IIS-0735129PI: Garcia-Molina, HectorInstitution: Stanford UniversityTitle: SGER Year 2: A Web Sociologist's WorkbenchThis SGER project is constructing integrated tools that will help social scientists analyze large time series snapshots of World Wide Web content. Such data offer social scientists new means for conducting research into new topics. The exploratory work brings together Stanford's Computer Science department and Political Science faculty at the university. The computing faculty have developed an operational Web archive gathering and storage system. This facility specializes on repeatedly collecting materials from the same Web sites and storing them for subsequent time series analysis. This is considered an important new resource for social sciences research. The central problem for computer science is the large scale of the collected material and the heterogeneity of the content.
