Evaluating the SiteStory Transactional Web Archive With the ApacheBench Tool
Conventional Web archives are created by periodically crawling a web site and
archiving the responses from the Web server. Although easy to implement and
common deployed, this form of archiving typically misses updates and may not be
suitable for all preservation scenarios, for example a site that is required
(perhaps for records compliance) to keep a copy of all pages it has served. In
contrast, transactional archives work in conjunction with a Web server to
record all pages that have been served. Los Alamos National Laboratory has
developed SiteSory, an open-source transactional archive written in Java
solution that runs on Apache Web servers, provides a Memento compatible access
interface, and WARC file export features. We used the ApacheBench utility on a
pre-release version of to measure response time and content delivery time in
different environments and on different machines. The performance tests were
designed to determine the feasibility of SiteStory as a production-level
solution for high fidelity automatic Web archiving. We found that SiteStory
does not significantly affect content server performance when it is performing
transactional archiving. Content server performance slows from 0.076 seconds to
0.086 seconds per Web page access when the content server is under load, and
from 0.15 seconds to 0.21 seconds when the resource has many embedded and
changing resources.Comment: 13 pages, Technical Repor
Diglossia, Bilingualism, and the Revitalization of Written Eastern Cham
Eastern Cham is an Austronesian language spoken in south-central Vietnam. The sociolinguistic situation of Eastern Cham communities is characterized by a combination of diglossia and widespread Cham-Vietnamese bilingualism. These factors have had an important impact on the effectiveness of recent and controversial attempts to standardize and revitalize the traditional Cham script, akhăr thrah. The spelling reforms and first language programs currently implemented are described, and the reactions from the community are discussed. Various possible paths for the development of literacy in Eastern Cham are proposed and the impact of language attitudes and ideology on their chances of success are briefly reviewed.National Foreign Language Resource Cente
