 | | Kahle's project is not just to collect the abstractions of human activity found in 'written text' but also the fixtures, the 'space' in between and the map that explains how each are related to the other. | | | The work of Brewster Kahle and others to construct the Internet Archive is discussed within this framework as a contribution to the processes of strata-making - albeit a digital strata. | | | In contrast to this position, Kahle's claim that he is conducting librarianship needs also to be considered. |

| | Kahle: How the archive works is just with stacks and stacks of computers runnning Solaris on x86, FreeBSD, and Linux, all of which have serious flaws, so we need to use different operating systems for different functions. | | | The archive is the result of the efforts of its director, Brewster Kahle, to capture the ephemeral pages of the Web and store them in a publicly accessible library. | | | Consider the hardware: a computer system with close to 400 parallel processors, 100 terabytes of disk space, hundreds of gigs of RAM, all for under a half-million dollars. |
