Archiving Blogs

Conceptually simple.

1. listen to RSS feed for each blog being archived
2. use workflow pipeline to:
   1. convert text to pdf file
      1. include source URL of blog post and other provenance information
   2. auto ingest pdf with provenance information into a repostory
3. create one collection of pdf's per blog

Lateral thought

• use e-pub as archival format
• encode rdf triples for authorship and provenance information (see http://ptsefton.com/2010/07/07/awe-presentation-for-open-repositories-2010.htm for examples)
