TL;DR: This paper describes a link management technique that helps authors ensure the consistency of their content, called the change log table/web-walk (CLT/WW) approach, which is based on web operations that log the gross changes made by authors to their web pages.
Abstract: Currently, a major issue with the World Wide Web (WWW) is link management—keeping web structures consistent whenever pages are moved, deleted, or changed. This paper describes a link management technique that helps authors ensure the consistency of their content. This technique, called the change log table/web-walk (CLT/WW) approach, is based on web operations that log the gross changes made by authors to their web pages. We discuss the interesting properties of this approach, including: managing cross-site linking of many web sites, ease of integration into existing content management systems, and decoupling web operations from link management. The issues surrounding this technique and potential extensions to this approach are also discussed.

TL;DR: In this collection of essays and interviews, web veterans such as Theo Schlossnagle, Baron Schwartz, and Alistair Croll offer insights into this evolving field of web operations.
Abstract: A web application involves many specialists, but it takes people in web ops to ensure that everything works together throughout an application's lifetime. It's the expertise you need when your start-up gets an unexpected spike in web traffic, or when a new feature causes your mature application to fail. In this collection of essays and interviews, web veterans such as Theo Schlossnagle, Baron Schwartz, and Alistair Croll offer insights into this evolving field. You'll learn stories from the trenches--from builders of some of the biggest sites on the Web--on what's necessary to help a site thrive. Learn the skills needed in web operations, and why they're gained through experience rather than schooling Understand why it's important to gather metrics from both your application and infrastructure Consider common approaches to database architectures and the pitfalls that come with increasing scale Learn how to handle the human side of outages and degradations Find out how one company avoided disaster after a huge traffic deluge Discover what went wrong after a problem occurs, and how to prevent it from happening again Contributors include: John Allspaw Heather Champ Michael Christian Richard Cook Alistair Croll Patrick Debois Eric Florenzano Paul Hammond Justin Huff Adam Jacob Jacob Loomis Matt Massie Brian Moon Anoop Nagwani Sean Power Eric Ries Theo Schlossnagle Baron Schwartz Andrew Shafer

TL;DR: Alvis is a research project in the design, use and interoperability of topic-specific search engines with the goal of developing an open source prototype of a peer-to-peer, semantic-based search engine.
Abstract: Alvis is a research project in the design, use and interoperability of topic-specific search engines with the goal of developing an open source prototype of a peer-to-peer, semantic-based search engine. Existing search engines provide poor foundations for semanticbased web operations, and are becoming monopolies, distorting the entire information landscape. Our approach is not the traditional Semantic Web approach with coded metadata, but rather an engine that can build on content through semi-automatic analysis.
