Archiving
When testing if a webpage is archived and how often is it archived one important factor is when is the webpage created. If a webpage is created in 2000 we would assume it will be archived several times. However, if the webpage is created yesterday we would assume it might not be archived or at least once. So here we want to figure out the creation date of our collection and make sure we have a different variety of creation years.
One method to determine when the URIs are created is to find out when was the domain name created. This can be done using the "Whois protocol" [14]. However, using this method we only found 3533 creation date out of 7976 Arabic seed URIs . The oldest creation date we found using this method in our collection of Aranic seed URIs was 1996.
Another method is the carbon date tool, it searches for creation date in the indexed search engines, archived in the public archives, and shared in the social media and save the oldest date found as the creation date. We have to note that creation dates obtained are just an estimate [15].
Figure 3 shows the creation date and its frequency. It shows we have a large distribution of creation dates. And the maximum creation date was in 2005 where almost 500 websites are created.
