1.0 WEBSITE SELECTION Many things that memory institutions collect, like scholarly publications, campaign materials, works of art, government documents, correspondence, and news, are now only available on the Web. Web pages are increasingly dynamic, they are constantly changing. To make sure this content survives for the next generation, it must be captured in real-time. Web archiving is the process of collecting portions of the World Wide Web, preserving the collections in an archival format, and then serving the archives for access and use. Web archiving is important not only for future research but also for organisations' records management processes. There are technical, organisational, legal and social issues that Web archivists need to address, some general and some specific to types of content or archiving operations of a given scope. Terms such as appraisal and selection, acquisition, organization and storage, description and metadata, access, use and conclusion are related to web archiving. In my case, based on the figure that I chose, which is Zen Cho, all related websites are listed as shown below.

Table above is about the complete list of websites that related to Malaysian Author, Zen Cho. The contents from the list contains local and international information, which means, there are some sites that is full with oversea community. The reasons why these websites are being chosen is to archived several data about her background, career development, achievements and contribution to the nation. These links later will be used in platform identification and website archive exploration using two web identification platform which are xml-sitemaps and builtwith, and two web archiving tools, which are HTTrack and Conifer.

1.1 SCOPE The theme set for this case study is Malaysian Author and I chose local novelist named, Zen Cho. Although this is about the local author, but the content of the website and her achievements during his prime was widely known among novelists and readers community local and international. Zen Cho, to be exact, should be acknowledge more among readers community because she is one of Malaysian who managed to achieve something honorable and she did it in the field of novelist. She is also the one who rewrite the Malaysian folk tale story about ghost or mystery into fantasy and adventure novel series. Because of its specialty and brand new mystery, horror and thriller story, it gained a lot of attention in United Kingdom and that is where she starts to gain popularity and make Malaysian proud.

2.0 WEB ARCHIVING PROJECTS OBJECTIVES There are three objectives of archiving website in this case study. Firstly, is to preserve all websites that contains information about Zen Cho. These included her background, education, and any other basic profile data about her. Secondly, is to maintain the acknowledgement gained by Zen Cho from the international community. These also included her achievements during her prime in United Kingdom. Lastly, is to make it accessible to future researchers. The third objective is an absolute core to my case study, as it is related to web archiving exploration using web archiving tools. In order to maintain the efficiency of my objectives, there will be a section where the website itself will be identified using two sites available online, which are xml-sitemaps and builtwith. After the identification, there will be another two tools for web archiving, which are HTTrack and Conifer. However, tools for web archiving will be compared at the end of this case study to show which tool is capable for web archiving. All three objectives stated in previous paragraph is simply a sign that the important person that I chose, which is, Zen Cho, a Malaysian author, needs an attention regarding her honorable mention and her contribution to the nation. This was followed by her series of novel collection, that contains a fantasy story including prequel and sequel. If websites about Zen Cho and her achievements have not been archived, all of her great history will be gone and the future researcher would have had a hard time to do a research about Zen Cho.

2.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT Zen Cho is a Malaysian fantasy author that based in United Kingdom. She’s inspired by local stories and make it up into novel form which has granted her several awards at international level. These several achievements, received by Zen Cho at international level, have been recognized as the top Malaysian woman with the greatest honor. Even though she was recognized at oversea, still there are certain community whom did not even know the existence of this fantasy author especially younger generation and students. Therefore, through web archiving tools that is ready to use, any websites that contain information about Zen Cho, will be archived. In any case in the near future, where researcher would like to do a research about her, then, they can explore the link or platform that archived all related websites.

3.0 IMPLEMENTATION WORKFLOW

Figure 1: personal workflow for case study

In this case study, workflow in web archiving process is actually related to Web Archiving Life Cycle Model. For introduction, The technological tools for archiving the web have been evolving steadily for more than a decade. However, best practices and a common model of web archiving have yet to emerge. The Web Archiving Life Cycle Model is an attempt to incorporate the technological and programmatic arms of web archiving into a framework that will be relevant to any organization seeking to archive the web. Archive-It, the leading web archiving service in the community, developed this model based on its work with memory institutions around the world. The appraisal and selection is the first phase where the institution or individual, choosing a specific website that suits to their own objectives. While in this case study, the websites that has been chosen, which around 20 websites in total, will be continue in the process later. But before completing the selection, random search on website that related to Zen Cho has been done and total 25 websites has been found. Using individual judgement and following the criteria set by the lecturer, the lists has been reduced to 20 websites. Next, the scoping process is actually the step to harvest a website. But depending on the partners or an organization, whether they want to scoping the entire website or only the nested URL with specific content only. But in my case study, all chosen websites, will be crawled for their specific content only in order to save a space in device or online storage. For example, in Zen Cho portfolio website, content about her background only will be crawled while the data about others will not include in the process. For the data capture process, it is important for any individual or an organization to test their websites first. This is related to the sizes of the selected website because the efficiency of web archiving tools are heavily depending on it. For example, in my case study, there are certain websites that contains bigger sizes as much as 1GB. Because of that, the mirroring process on HTTrack will be skip to several part and stop when the specific content is already mirrored. After the selected websites has been archived, the quality in terms of content and completeness. That is why in my case study, there are two main tables which the first one is table about the identification of websites, and the other is about the exploration of web archiving tools. These tables will provide information about the websites whether its about sizes, pages archived, duration, topic and so on. During this phase, all data and limitations about web archiving tools will be include in case study report followed by feedback and recommendation.

4.0 PREFERRED WEB ARCHIVING TOOLS Web archiving is important as a gold because it can archive and safely kept websites in an online storage or also known as repository. Since the evolution of internet, there are several websites that has been removed because of sensitivity or in the simplest way, outdated. For example, in the United States, usually before election there are plenty of website that contains the manifesto and other data. But after the closing of election, these websites will be terminated. It is difficult for researcher there to seek information regarding that. That is why there are so many web archiving tools exist in order to secure important websites for important party such as government, lectures, institution and student. These tools, however, have their own advantages and limitations but still depending on the sizes of the websites as well. Whether it is beneficial or little advantage, still the functions are all same, which is to archive any selected websites on the internet. HTTrack and Conifer are great in archive any websites on the internet. The functions might be different as well as the interface, and both requires strong internet connection. In my point of view, Conifer would be a great tool to archive any websites. Firstly, the link of the chosen website can be put in an empty bar, and it will automatically record the whole site. The size of each session is depending on the activity of the users during the record session. For instance, during the archive activity, if users click another internal link in that website, the number of size record will increase. Usually, it did not take long for the session to end even though the website size is big. To summarize, Conifer is a tool to create high-fidelity, interactive captures of any website users’ browse and a platform to make those captured websites accessible. It offers a limited free tier 5GB of storage space with some networking quota restrictions. Access to collections that users made public is always free of charge and unlimited. Conifer can also perform complicated actions on complex website.
