Project Overview

One Liner: Interplanetary Archival Record Objects for Decentralized Web Archiving and Replay

Abstract

The IPARO is a decentralized version tracking system using the existing primitives of IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) and IPNS (InterPlanetary Name System). The IPARO proposes the concept of IPMT (InterPlanetary Media Types) and namespacing so that it can be used in other applications that require versioning, such as a wiki or a collaborative code tracking system. The proposed system does not rely on any centralized server for archiving or replay of the content. The system continues to allow aggregators to play their role from which both large and small archives can benefit and flourish.
