[Netarchivesuite-curator] BnF NAS update for August

[peter.stirling at bnf.fr]

Hello all,

Since May we have being experimenting with a working group of 8 librarians 
to harvest ephemeral news (in French, "actualité éphémère"). It aims to 
harvest websites related to punctual or unexpected events. This does not 
necessarely replace existing processes for emergency harvesting.

For example, some of the first subjects chosen are the football world cup, 
the UK royal wedding, the Tour de France, the festival d'Avignon and the 
Benalla Affair. It complements the daily harvesting of news sites 
(newspapers, magazines,..), mainly with social networks (essentially 
Twitter). 74 seeds have been created, some of them crawled for six or 
seven days, and others for one or two months. 35 are still active.

Based on the first experiences we will decide if our harvesting workflow 
has to be adapted for this type of crawl or if the existing harvest 
definitions are sufficient.

Best regards,
The BnF digital legal deposit team
