Our work on Memento comes to mind, of course. http://www.mementoweb.org/ And in particular, regarding the second point, our papers about the use of Memento for non-traditional interactions with web archives: * http://arxiv.org/abs/1003.3661 Using Memento to recover the state of a web resource at the point in time it was annotated, to ensure that the annotation is displayed with the correct representation. * http://arxiv.org/abs/1003.2643 Using Memento with Linked Data to perform time series analysis. And hopefully a paper at Open Repositories, describing initial and ongoing research, briefly summarized in: * http://public.lanl.gov/herbertv/papers/Papers/2011/MementoPoster_IKS_201104.pdf Hope that helps!
