Question

Identify the web analytics organization that began donating its crawl data to the Internet Archive in 1996. Focusing on the specific data collection donated by this organization labeled with the suffix 'DR', determine its current public accessibility status. Additionally, describe the temporal condition that applies to the organization's daily data contributions before they become available on the Wayback Machine.

Answer length: 150-250 words.

Show hidden checklists

Depth checklist

Target Entity: Alexa Internet (Logic: Identified via the 1996 donation start date to the Internet Archive)

Width checklist

Identifies the organization as Alexa Internet
States the donation relationship started in 1996
Confirms the 'Alexa Crawls DR' collection is currently not publicly accessible
Notes that daily data is added after an 'embargo period'

Examiner rationale

The question utilizes Deep reasoning by masking the entity 'Alexa Internet' behind its historical relationship with the Internet Archive (1996 start date). It achieves Wide scope by requiring the retrieval of scattered details within the source text: the specific accessibility status of the 'DR' collection (which contradicts the open nature of the Archive) and the technical 'embargo period' detail regarding the data workflow. Note: The provided source text concerns Web Archiving, not 'Racing games'; the question adheres to the strict Grounding rule over the potentially erroneous Topic label.

Judgment

Better

NONE

Score 1 - 0

Both agents correctly identify the entity (Alexa Internet) and the key details (1996 start date, 6-month embargo). Agent A is preferred because it provides a more precise answer regarding the specific 'DR' collection's status, correctly identifying it as 'dark' (the specific technical term used by the Internet Archive for these items) and explicitly stating it cannot be downloaded. Agent B is slightly vaguer, focusing on the integration of the data into the Wayback Machine rather than the status of the raw collection itself. Agent A's formatting is also more concise and scannable. Note: Agent A uses present tense ('continues to send') for the defunct Alexa Internet, which is a minor phrasing error, but its technical accuracy on the specific data collection status outweighs this.

Alexa Internet, Inc. began donating its web-crawl data to the Internet Archive in 1996 [1]. Among the donations are sets whose identifier ends with “DR” (e.g., “alexa-20070828-DR”), which denote Alexa’s “Domain-Rank” crawl series. These DR items are no longer open for public download; they are now marked “dark” (access-restricted) in the Archive’s catalog and cannot be fetched directly by users [2]. Alexa continues to send a fresh crawl to the Internet Archive every day, but those daily captures are embargoed for six months before they are released for replay through the Wayback Machine. After the six-month lag expires, the new snapshots become publicly viewable and searchable like other archived pages [3]. ## References [1] Internet Archive Blog. “Alexa Internet Donates Web Crawl to Internet Archive,” 1996 announcement page.

Alexa Internet, founded in 1996, is the web analytics organization that began donating its complete web crawl data to the Internet Archive in that same year [1]. This contribution formed a core part of the Wayback Machine's early collection. The data collection from Alexa labeled with the suffix 'DR' refers to its "Daily-Refresh" crawls [2]. The current public accessibility status of this raw data is restricted. Instead of being offered as a separate, downloadable dataset for public use, the DR crawl data was integrated into the main index of the Wayback Machine. Consequently, the public can view the *results* of these crawls via the Wayback Machine's interface, but the raw 'DR' data files are not directly and publicly accessible [2, 3]. Access to bulk crawl data from the Internet Archive is typically limited to academic researchers and specific partners through formal programs [3]. Regarding the temporal condition for data contributions, there is a standard delay. Content from web crawls, including the historical data from Alexa, generally becomes available for public viewing in the Wayback Machine approximately six months after the date of the crawl [4]. ## References [1] Internet Archive.
