On May 4-7, 2009, 60 participants from 20 countries gathered at the Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa for the annual International Internet Preservation Consortium General Assembly. The meeting focused on activities of the three IIPC working groups.
The Access Working Group featured guest speaker Brian Davison, from Lehigh University, presenting on "Searching Archival Webs Efficiently & Effectively." Davison outlined early findings from a National Science Foundation project to implement improved search and navigation services for web archives. Breakout groups focused on the topics of "Scalability of Indexing Software," "Resource Discovery of Web Archives: Cataloguing, Full-text Indexing, What Else?" and "Wayback/NutchWAX Integration (issues, tips, and best practice)."
