Abstract

An information-acquiring apparatus includes a search unit that performs search or browsing of a first web-page by issuing a request for acquiring information to a web archive, an embedding unit that embeds an address of a web-archiving server having the web archive in a uniform resource locator of a linked web-page specified in the first web-page, and an acquiring unit that acquires the linked web-page from the web archive by issuing a request for acquiring the linked web-page to the web-archiving server based on the address.

Claims

1. An information-acquiring apparatus comprising:

a search unit that performs search or browsing of a first web-page by issuing a request for acquiring information to a web archive;

an embedding unit that embeds an address of a web-archiving server having the web archive in a uniform resource locator of a linked web-page specified in the first web-page; and

an acquiring unit that acquires the linked web-page from the web archive by issuing a request for acquiring the linked web-page to the web-archiving server based on the address.

2. The information-acquiring apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a holding unit that holds a generation information of the first web-page by acquiring the generation information from the web archive when performing search or browsing, wherein

the web archive stores the first web-page with an address and a generation information corresponding to the first web-page, and

the acquiring unit acquires a generation information of the first web-page when issuing the request.

3. An information-acquiring method comprising:

performing search or browsing of a first web-page by issuing a request for acquiring information to a web archive;

embedding an address of a web-archiving server having the web archive in a uniform resource locator of a linked web-page specified in the first web-page; and

acquiring the linked web-page from the web archive by issuing a request for acquiring the linked web-page to the web-archiving server based on the address.

4. The information-acquiring method, according to claim 3, further comprising holding a generation information of the first web-page by acquiring the generation information from the web archive when performing search or browsing, wherein

the web archive stores the first web-page with an address and a generation information corresponding to the first web-page, and

the acquiring includes acquiring a generation information of the first web-page when issuing the request.

5. A computer program for acquiring information, making a computer execute the steps comprising:

performing search or browsing of a first web-page by issuing a request for acquiring information to a web archive;

embedding an address of a web-archiving server having the web archive in a uniform resource locator of a linked web-page specified in the first web-page; and

acquiring the linked web-page from the web archive by issuing a request for acquiring the linked web-page to the web-archiving server based on the address.

6. The computer program according to claim 5, further making the computer execute holding a generation information of the first web-page by acquiring the generation information from the web archive when performing search or browsing, wherein

the web archive stores the first web-page with an address and a generation information corresponding to the first web-page, and

the acquiring includes acquiring a generation information of the first web-page when issuing the request.

7. The computer program according to claim 6, wherein the generation information includes date and time of gathering the first web-page.

8. The computer program according to claim 6, further making the computer execute acquiring a generation list of a second web-page that has different generation information with same address from the web archive, if the web archiving does not have the first web-page of the address and the generation information when performing the request.
