Organization: Internet Archive

The Internet Archive discovers and captures web pages through many different web crawls. At any given time several distinct crawls are running, some for months, and some every day or longer. View the web archive through the Wayback Machine.

Collection: Wide Crawl started March 2011

Web wide crawl with initial seedlist and crawler configuration from March 2011. This uses the new HQ software for distributed crawling by Kenji Nagahashi.

What’s in the data set:

Crawl start date: 09 March, 2011
Crawl end date: 23 December, 2011
Number of captures: 2,713,676,341
Number of unique URLs: 2,273,840,159
Number of hosts: 29,032,069

The seed list for this crawl was a list of Alexa’s top 1 million web sites, retrieved close to the crawl start date. We used Heritrix (3.1.1-SNAPSHOT) crawler software and respected robots.txt directives. The scope of the crawl was not limited except for a few manually excluded sites.

However this was a somewhat experimental crawl for us, as we were using newly minted software to feed URLs to the crawlers, and we know there were some operational issues with it. For example, in many cases we may not have crawled all of the embedded and linked objects in a page since the URLs for these resources were added into queues that quickly grew bigger than the intended size of the crawl (and therefore we never got to them). We also included repeated crawls of some Argentinian government sites, so looking at results by country will be somewhat skewed.

We have made many changes to how we do these wide crawls since this particular example, but we wanted to make the data available “warts and all” for people to experiment with. We have also done some further analysis of the content.

If you would like access to this set of crawl data, please contact us at info at archive dot org and let us know who you are and what you’re hoping to do with it. We may not be able to say “yes” to all requests, since we’re just figuring out whether this is a good idea, but everyone will be considered.

REPLACEMENT OF THE ROYAL PREROGATIVE IN NEW ZEALAND.

New Zealand Universities Law Review, June 2009 by B. V. HARRIS

Summary:

The common law royal prerogative remains a major source of authority for government action in New Zealand. This article advances an ideal constitutional design model for the provision of executive authority founded on the importance of there being pre-action democratic approval of executive action. It is argued that review of the current prerogative against the ideal model suggests New Zealand should consider eventually replacing all currently remaining prerogative authorities for necessary government action with well-designed statutory authorities.ABSTRACT FROM AUTHORCopyright of New Zealand Universities Law Review is the property of Brookers Ltd. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.
