[Netarchivesuite-curator] BnF NAS update for February

[geraldine.camile at bnf.fr]

Dear All,

In January, we launched a selective (project) crawl for the local 
(municipales) elections, taking place on March 15th and March 22nd. Two 
collection departments (Law, Economics and Politics and Philosophy, 
History and Humanities) along with 19 public libraries all over France are 
taking part in the selection process, which is expected to last until 
April. The monthly and twice a day frequencies have been chosen as 
crawling parameters. Over the last weeks, around 1500 sites -among which 
over 900 are Twitter and Facebook websites - have already been nominated.

The  latest version of BCweb (7.2.0) has been released on Monday. It 
includes a few bugfixes and some evolutions (for instance, of navigation 
functionalities) for a better user experience. The output format of the 
data webservices have also been updated in order to fit the api.bnf.fr and 
data.bnf.fr format requirements.

We are working on the upgrade of the web browser used to give access to 
our web archive (Firefox 17 --> Firefox 52.9). This upgrade will allow us 
to fix numerous access issues (css, javascript. The tests are in progress, 
for a setup in production planned for mid-March.

We have deployed the latest version of NAS Heritrix 3 IIPC in a test 
environment and launched a first crawl. We listed all the new paramaters 
of Heritrix 3 that we will test the most important for our use cases. 
First we are testing the harvest template Domain with a newer extractor 
JS.

Best regards,

The BnF digital legal deposit team
