Abstract(s)

This paper introduces the Portuguese Web Archive initiative, presenting its main objectives and work in progress. Term search over web archives collections is a desirable feature that raises new challenges. It is discussed how the terms index size could be reduced without significantly decreasing the quality of search results. The results obtained from the first performed crawl show that the Portuguese web is composed approximately at least by 54 million contents that correspond to 2.8 TB of data. The crawl of the Portuguese web was stored in 2 TB of disk space using the ARC compressed format.
