1) The document discusses a system called HiberActive that aims to proactively archive web references from scholarly articles to prevent link rot.
2) It notes the ubiquity of the link rot problem, with many references in scholarly articles becoming broken over time.
3) HiberActive would have repositories actively support archiving references when new articles are added using existing web archiving infrastructure and the ResourceSync standard for change notifications.

• Perfect scenario:
• All authors archive all their cited URIs e.g., with
Hiberlink’s Zotero extension
• Current scenario:
• Mostly accidental archiving of cited URIs
• HiberActive scenario:
• Repositories actively support archiving
• Utilize existing pro-active web archiving infrastructure
• Provide value-added service based on archived data
