The DailyDot: This project aims to make ‘404 not found’ pages a thing of the past
28 April 2014
A collaboration of Hiberlink project partners, the Harvard perma.cc web archiving effort, the Harvard Berkman Center, and Old Dominion University aimed at augmenting links in HTML to make them more robust was highlighted by the Daily Dot. The robustness ideas that the collaboration is pursuing find their roots in Hiberlink's Missing Link proposal and similar insights that originated in Internet Robustness research by the Harvard Berkman Center.
