About this capture
COLLECTED BY
Organization: Internet Archive
These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to. That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved.

Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.

The goal is to fix all broken links on the web. Crawls of supported "No More 404" sites.
This is a collection of web page captures from links added to, or changed on, Wikipedia pages. The idea is to bring a reliability to Wikipedia outlinks so that if the pages referenced by Wikipedia articles are changed, or go away, a reader can permanently find what was originally referred to.

This is part of the Internet Archive's attempt to rid the web of broken links.

Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen is backing the Wikidata project, which is part of the German chapter of the Wikimedia movement.

Wikidata is a new project with a big goal. It wants to be a collaboratively edited database of all of the world's knowledge. It will be used to make Wikipedia entries more accurate by sourcing better data. It will also make it easier to manage the 90,000 volunteers.

"Wikidata is ground-breaking. It is the largest technical project ever undertaken by one of the 40 international Wikimedia chapters," Pavel Richter, CEO of Wikimedia Deutschland, said in a statement.

The technology should also make it easier to group edit lists and charts based on that data, so there's interest from the government, science, and other sectors to use it to publish data under a free Creative Commons license.

Wikidata has landed 1.3 million Euros to fund its development, half of which comes from the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence. So Allen's share adds up to about $860,000. The project is also being funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Program and Google.

The team will start to work on the initial development for Wikidata in April. They will work on it for a year, and then give the project to the Wikimedia Foundation by March 2012.
