Introduction

The aim of the ARCOMEM project is the development of methods and tools for the
implementation of a socially aware and semantic driven Web preservation
model.

The crawling and archiving of web content is still a relatively new field of
research and many of the tools which currently perform these tasks are
relatively simple, crawling the web without regard to the actual content of the
web. Throughout the project a large number of components have been developed to
collect content from the Web and Social Web while focusing on the user-specified
topics, to analyse it from semantic and social perspectives and to enable Web
archive access by different facets.

This documentation includes:

• instructions to start using parts of, or the whole ARCOMEM
  system quickly using pre-compiled code;
• the description of the system's architecture;
• a developer guide for people wishing to extend the ARCOMEM
  system.
