Internet Memory Foundation
Based in Amsterdam and Paris, the Internet Memory Foundation is a non-profit foundation working towards universal access to all knowledge. The archive will achieve this through partnerships with libraries, museums, other collection bodies, and through building its own collections. The primary goal of collecting this knowledge is to make it as publicly accessible as possible, via the Internet and other means.
Internet Memory Research
Internet Memory Research is a spinoff of the Internet Memory Foundation dedicated to Web archiving and web-scale extraction of information for professional use. In addition to its archiving services, IMR currently develops tools to collect and extract information at large scale (millions of sites and social networks) for professional application (web intelligence). IMR crawls dozens of Terabytes of data per month, IMR plans to scale to one petabyte this year. IMR team members have extensive experience of FP6 and FP7 projects from the time they worked with the foundation directly. This includes a very successful (according to final reviews) STREPS LIWA, current STREPS LAWA (on large scale web analytics for research), and FET IP Living Knowledge.
I am acting as a scientific director for Internet Memory Research, with focus on web crawling and web-scale storage of the collected material.
