Abstract

The paper reports from a representativeness study covering Sámi languages in a Norwegian national web crawl. We extracted linguistic content from HTML in a considerable portion of the archive and applied language identification on paragraph-level. By aggregating the results on domain-name level, we were able to quantify the amount of Sámi language content in the web archive and identify contributing domains. Further, by comparing the URLs of the national crawl with a Sámi reference corpus, we identified domain names that were lacking in the national crawl and domains that lack depth. The results will be used to increase the coverage of Sámi language content in future web crawls and acquisitions.
