hyperlink networks  

Definition

  • The World Wide Web (WWW) is a vast network: the tens of billions of Web pages can each be seen as a vertex in a graph whose edges are URL hyperlinks connecting the pages. These hyperlinks may point to other pages on the same Website or to sites of other organizations, and the resulting network can provide evidence for important social, economic, and institutional relationships.
