In this paper we present the results of a study into the persistence and availability of web resources referenced from papers in scholarly repositories. Two repositories with different characteristics, arXiv and the UNT digital library, are…
We present ARCHANGEL; a de-centralised platform for ensuring the long-term integrity of digital documents stored within public archives. Document integrity is fundamental to public trust in archives. Yet currently that trust is built upon…
In the dynamic realm of digital content, safeguarding intellectual property rights poses critical challenges. This paper presents "SecureRights," an innovative Blockchain-based Trusted Digital Rights Management (DRM) framework. It…
The increasing availability of data from diverse sources, including trusted entities such as governments, as well as untrusted crowd-sourced contributors, demands a secure and trustworthy environment for storage and retrieval. Blockchain,…
Software, and software source code in particular, is widely used in modern research. It must be properly archived, referenced, described and cited in order to build a stable and long lasting corpus of scientic knowledge. In this article we…
Authenticated data structures provide cryptographic proofs that their answers are as accurate as the author intended, even if the data structure is being controlled by a remote untrusted host. We present efficient techniques for…
The openness and accessibility of the Web has contributed greatly to its worldwide adoption. Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) are used for resource identification on the Web. A resource on the Web can be described in many ways, which…
From dirty data to intentional deception, there are many threats to the validity of data-driven decisions. Making use of data, especially new or unfamiliar data, therefore requires a degree of trust or verification. How is this trust…
We leverage the Open Research Knowledge Graph - a scholarly infrastructure that supports the creation, curation, and reuse of structured, semantic scholarly knowledge - and present an approach for persistent identification of FAIR scholarly…
Paper publications are no longer the only form of research product. Due to recent initiatives by publication venues and funding institutions, open access datasets and software products are increasingly considered research products and URIs…
Despite much creative work on methods and tools, reproducibility -- the ability to repeat the computational steps used to obtain a research result -- remains elusive. One reason for these difficulties is that extant tools for capturing…
We describe a variant of linear probing hash tables that never moves elements and thus supports referential integrity, i.e., pointers to elements remain valid while this element is in the hash table. This is achieved by the folklore method…
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has made the generation of synthetic images widely accessible, increasing concerns related to misinformation, digital forgery, and content authenticity on large-scale online platforms. This…
Due to their immutable log of information, blockchains can be considered as a transparency-enhancing technology. The immutability, however, also introduces threats and challenges with respect to privacy laws and illegal content. Introducing…
Open banking framework enables third party providers to access financial data across banking institutions, leading to unprecedented innovations in the financial sector. However, some open banking standards remain susceptible to severe…
This paper presents elements that form the structure of a network of data using secure stable and mature technologies that meet the requirement of having code free. The principle would be conflicting code open Tuesday where he wants to keep…
Online knowledge repositories typically rely on their users or dedicated editors to evaluate the reliability of their content. These evaluations can be viewed as noisy measurements of both information reliability and information source…
AI-powered generative models have significantly expanded the possibilities for editing, manipulating, and creating high-quality images. Particularly, images that falsely appear to originate from trusted sources pose a serious threat,…
The arcp URI scheme is introduced for location-independent identifiers to consume or reference hypermedia and linked data resources bundled inside a file archive, as well as to resolve archived resources within programmatic frameworks for…
As web technologies evolve, web archivists work to keep up so that our digital history is preserved. Recent advances in web technologies have introduced client-side executed scripts that load data without a referential identifier or that…
