Web archiving is the process of gathering data from the Web, storing it and ensuring the data is preserved in an archive for future explorations. Despite the increasing number of web archives, the absence of meaningful exploration methods remains a major hurdle in the way of turning them into a useful information source. With the creation of profiles describing metadata information about the archived documents it is possible to offer a more exploitable environment that goes beyond the simple keyword-based search. By exploring the expressive power of SPARQL language and providing a user friendly web-based search interface, users can run sophisticated queries searching for documents that meet their information needs.

Abstract
Web archiving is the process of gathering data from the Web, storing it and ensuring the data is preserved in an archive for future explorations. Despite the increasing number of web archives, the absence of meaningful exploration methods remains a major hurdle in the way of turning them into a useful information source. With the creation of profiles describing metadata information about the archived documents it is possible to offer a more exploitable environment that goes beyond the simple keyword-based search. By exploring the expressive power of SPARQL language and providing a user friendly web-based search interface, users can run sophisticated queries searching for documents that meet their information needs.
