BlogForever will develop robust digital preservation, management and dissemination facilities for weblogs. These facilities will be able to capture the dynamic and continuously evolving nature of weblogs, their network and social structure, and the exchange of concepts and ideas that they foster; pieces of information omitted by current Web Archiving methods and solutions. The final output of BlogForever will be a simple weblog digital archiving solution that any user, user group or institution could use to preserve their weblog( s) and ensure their authenticity, integrity, completeness, usability, and long term accessibility as a valuable cultural, social, and intellectual resource. A multitude of parties will benefit from the project, including libraries and information centres, museums, universities, research institutes, businesses, and bloggers. The vision of the project is to build a simple end‐to‐end digital archiving solution for weblogs that any user, user group, institution or organisation could use to:
• easily preserve their weblog( s) in a cost efficient manner safeguarding their authenticity and integrity
• promote open access to information
• manage large volumes of weblog archives
• interact with their archives in various ways such as full text searching, tagging, sharing and reusing content
• collaborate with other users using the archive’ s content
• publish selected information to the web
3.3 The web journal
The cataloguing possibilities and the search engine of Invenio are useful elements to integrate in a module which displays documents and information with the classical approach and features of a Web Journal.
At CERN the Weekly Bulletin is an Invenio web journal, where articles and other information are gathered into Invenio documents according to pre‐established criteria and displayed in an appealing way to employees, the physics community and public.
