We presented #CiVers at #CAA2026 in Vienna (Mar 31โApr 4) with a poster! ๐
๐ By combining #WebArchiving change detection, and #metadata extraction, CiVers enables reliable citation of versioned web pages using persistent identifiers (PIDs).
๐ฅ
Our goal: make web-based #research resources citable, traceable, and reproducible.
Letโs connect! ๐คฒ

October 14, we hosted our first #CiVers workshop at the @dai_weltweit in Berlin ๐๏ธ This was a great opportunity to exchange ideas on citing versioned web resources and managing research data in #archaeology and the #humanities

๐ชง On Tuesday, October 14, the CiVers team will host its first workshop at the @dai_weltweit in Berlin.
Weโll bring together project partners and experts from digital humanities ๐ป and research infrastructure ๐ง to discuss research data repositories and approaches for citing web resources.๐
Looking forward to the exchange!

Did you know that web pages can be captured in different formats for archiving?
๐ฆ WARC / WACZ Archives โ Standard formats for full web archive collections
๐ HTML Snapshots โ Complete DOM capture at the moment of archiving
๐ SingleFile HTML โ Self-contained HTML with embedded resources
๐๏ธ MHTML (MHT) โ Browser-supported single-file archive with HTML and assets
#CiVers is planned to support these formats, particularly those suitable for long-term #digitalpreservation #webarchiving #archives
Last week we explored the essentials of citability: versioning, PIDs, and #metadata But how can these be applied to existing web resources so researchers can cite them? ๐ค
๐ ๏ธ Many resources in #archaeology and #DigitalHumanities werenโt built for this. Redesigning them would be costly and time-consuming.
๐ก #CiVers is developing tools to create versioned snapshots and assign PIDs, without altering existing infrastructures.

๐ Letโs dig deeper into what makes a web #Research resource citable. For #CiVers, the essentials are:
โ Versioning: capture a resource at a specific point in time
๐ Persistent Identifiers (PIDs): provide a stable, unique reference
๐ Rich #metadata : describe content so humans and machines can find it again
These principles are at the heart of our first #openaccess article: read it here!
๐ https://doi.org/10.34780/6k764r03
๐ Research resources in archaeology and the humanities are rich, web-based, and constantly evolving, but they often lack reliable, citable versions of their content.
๐ก CiVers develops tools to generate versioned snapshots of web resources and assign Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) for precise, long-term citation without changing existing web application infrastructures.

๐ค How can we reliably cite resources of web-based research databases in archaeology and the humanities?
๐ก In our new article, we present the CiVers approach: creating versioned, citable web resources using Persistent Identifiers (PIDs).

๐ข Hello Mastodon! ๐
Weโre CiVers Citation of Versioned Web Pages by Persistent Identifier
Web pages change. Links rot. Academic references break. Weโre fixing that. ๐ ๏ธ
