Visualizing Webpage Changes Over Time
arXiv.org
03 Jun 2020
Abstract
We report on the development of TMVis, a web service to provide
visualizations of how individual webpages have changed over time. We leverage
past research on summarizing collections of webpages with thumbnail-sized
screenshots and on choosing a small number of representative past archived
webpages from a large collection. We offer four visualizations: image grid,
image slider, timeline, and animated GIF. Embed codes for the image grid and
image slider can be produced to include these on separate webpages. The
animated GIF can be downloaded as an image file for the same purpose. This tool
can be used to allow scholars from various disciplines, as well as the general
public, to explore the temporal nature of web archives. We hope that these
visualizations will just be the beginning and will provide a starting point for
others to expand these types of offerings for users of web archives.
