The ArchEc drift contains cdx files, mostly computed by wget data, from the files in the Archec vault. There should be as many drift files as there are vault files. Thomas Krichel is not sure why anybody would want the drift data. He makes it available just in case.
The drift is organized by RePEc archives and series. The file names are derived from RePEc handles. The only character that is systematically replaced is the slash, because it is used as a directory separator in unix-like operating systems.
The ArchEc drift is maintained by Thomas Krichel. His work was supported by a €3000 subsidy from the Banque de France Foundation through their support of the Losheim Proposal.
ArchEc is a project of the RePEc digital library for economics. ArchEc aims to provide long-term archiving of RePEc templates and full-text files.
