What are the legal, technical and policy issues involved in archiving the
web? This is not an academic question--there are several projects now
underway to archive the Web, or at least selected parts of it. Archiving
the Web raises fundamental legal, technical, policy and privacy issues.
How can data be collected and archived logically and accessibly, without
requiring immense computing resources? Should public organizations or a
private entity take the lead? Should there be one central archive, or a
number of them? What are the copyright problems to be addressed and who
should control what is archived, and when it becomes available for
dissemination? A distinguished panel of experts, including Mary Beth
Peters, head of the U.S. Copyright office, will address these issues.

Danielle Gallo:
I did not attend the Friday morning session in its entirety, so I will
glaze over these panels. 'Archiving the Web' was a rather uneventful
session that discussed online archives and their implications for
privacy and copyright. Among the services highlighted was Deja News
(http://www.dejanews.com/), a USENET archive.
