概要	Remote Document Collection is a data collection technique in which researchers gather written, visual, or multimedia documents from digital sources — online archives, institutional repositories, cloud storage, email, or government databases — without requiring physical presence. It extends classical document analysis into digital environments, enabling access to geographically dispersed or restricted materials and making it especially valuable for large-scale, cross-national, or time-sensitive research projects.	Web scraping is a computational data collection technique in which software automatically retrieves and extracts structured or semi-structured content from websites. Widely used in social science, computational linguistics, economics, and information science, it enables researchers to assemble large datasets from publicly accessible web sources — such as news archives, social media platforms, government portals, and online marketplaces — that would be impractical to collect manually.
