Fatcat is versioned, publicly-editable catalog of research publications: -journal articles, conference proceedings, pre-prints, blog posts, and so forth. -The goal is to improve the state of preservation and access to these works by -providing a manifest of full-text content versions and locations. - -

This service does not directly contain full-text content itself, but -provides basic access for human and machine readers through links to copies in -web archives, repositories, and the public web. - -

Significantly more context and background information can be found in The Guide. - -

Feedback and queries can be directed to -webservices@archive.org. - -

Goals and Features

- -

A few things set Fatcat apart from similar indexing and discovery services: - -

- -

This service aspires to be a piece of sustainable, long-term, non-profit, -free-software, collaborative, open digital infrastructure. It is primarily -designed to support the archival and dissemination roles of -scholarly communication. It may also support the registration role -(establishing precedence and authorship), but explicitly does not aid with -certification of content, and is not intended to be used for -evaluation of individuals, institutions, or venues. This service is -"universal", not currated, and happily includes retracted and "predatory" -content). - -

Sources of Metadata

- -The source of all bibliographic information is recorded in edit history -metadata, which allows the provenance of all records to be reconstructed. A few -major sources are worth highlighting here: - - - -Many thanks for the hard work of all these projects, institutions, and -individuals! - - -

Support and Acknowledgments

- -

Fatcat is a project of the Internet Archive, -a US-based non-profit digital library, well known for its -Wayback Machine web archive and -Open Library book digitization and -lending service. All Fatcat databases and services run on Internet Archive -servers in California, and a copy of most full-text content is stored in the -Archive's collections and/or web archives. - -

Development of Fatcat and related web harvesting, indexing, and preservation -efforts at the Archive have been partially funded (for the 2018-2019 period) by -a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation -("Long-tail Open Access Journal Preservation"). -Fatcat supports this work by both tracking which open access works in known -archives and providing minimum-viable indexing and access mechanisms for -long-tail works which otherwise would lack them. - -

The service would not technically be possible without hundreds of Free -Software components and the efforts of their individual and organizational -maintainers, more than can be listed here (please see the source code for full -lists). A few major components include the PostgreSQL database, Elasticsearch -search engine, Flask python web framework, Rust programming language, Diesel -database library, Swagger/OpenAPI code generators, Kafka distributed log, -Ansible configuration management tool, and Ubuntu GNU/Linux operating system -distribution. - -

A list of technical contributors, including volunteers, is maintained in the -source code repository (CONTRIBUTORS.md). Thanks everybody! - -{% endblock %} -- cgit v1.2.3
