Creating Synthetic Temporal Document Collections for Web Archive Benchmarking
Chapter
Abstract
In research in web archives, large temporal document collections are necessary in order to be able to compare and evaluate new strategies and algorithms. Large temporal document collections are not easily available, and an alternative is to create synthetic document collections. In this paper we will describe how to generate synthetic temporal document collections, how this is realized in the TDocGen temporal document generator, and we will also present a study of the quality of the document collections created by TDocGen.
