....offered a local map, showing nodes and connecting links. This visualizes the topology and permits the user to select source objects directly on the map. For the Web, the retrieval of links that refer to the current document poses a serious problem. A prototype Web browser tool described in [13] gathered this information from search engines. They alternatively proposed to extend the HTTP protocol to send backlink information gathered from the referrer URLs in the server log. The prototype offered a list of titles of Web documents that were linking to the current document. Third Voice is ....

Readers can find out how other users came to a page and discover along these lines newer documents about a subject, that link to the actual page [8]. 7 Related work This paper did already refer to several preceding projects. This sections lists three recent projects with related activities. A novel technique to display link information was presented by Zellweger, Chang and Mackinlay [41] The concept is called fluid links, as the document ....

....[15] and TextLink Gem [14] The authors of these works introduced a query pair link that is a pair consisting of a source query and a target query for a hypertext document. Lexical chaining [4] is utilized for automatic hypertext generation that is based on information retrieval methods. Backlinks [3] are also automatically generated from existing Web information. Unlike these works, our generic link is not another way to represent a static hyperlink, but is created dynamically when triggered by users search actions. The generic link shown in Fig.3 connects a starting HP with the target HP ....

....to find the backlinks, and is not guaranteed to find all backlinks. This will introduce some initial bias in the sample towards pages close to the starting point of the walk. Unfortunately, there is no easy way around this bias until and unless hyperlinks become bidirectional entities on the Web [9]. However we can assess the quality of the samples through other means. The graph is made regular by adding su#cient numbers of self loops at each node; see 3. We use a variant of Bar Yossef s walk, with random jumps thrown in with a small probability, which in our empirical experience gave us ....

....driving applications that motivate (and are motivated by) a better understanding of the neighborhood structure on the web. In particular, the second generation of data service applications on the web including advanced search applications [16, 17, 10] browsing and information foraging [14, 39, 15, 40, 19], community extraction [28] taxonomy construction [30, 29] have all taken tremendous advantage of knowledge about the hyperlink structure of the web. As just one example, let us mention the community extraction algorithm of [28] In this algorithm, a characterization of degree sequences ....

....it scans each fetched page for outgoing hyperlink URL s. However, other strategies are also known. e.g. if the URL is of the form http: host path , the crawler may truncate components of path and try to fetch these URL s. If links could be traversed backward, e.g. using metadata at the server [9], the crawler may also fetch pages that point to the page being expanded. 3.3 Evaluation setup We picked about twenty topics that could be represented by one or few nodes in a master category list derived from Yahoo , such as gardening, mutual funds, cycling, HIV, etc. On most of these topics, ....

In a companion paper [8] we have proposed new HTTP infrastructure to support bidirectional hyperlinks to facilitate exploration of fine grained communities. We feel that the ability to focus on a topical subgraph of the Web, as in this paper, together with the ability to browse communities within that subgraph, will lead ....

When such a page is visited, the applet shows URLs of pages in the neighborhood of the example whose titles have many words in common with the most distinctive words of the topic [5,8]. Any pages thus found useful can also be added to the examples by dragging and dropping. Sometimes the user may feel that the leaf nodes to which her examples have been assigned are still too broad and need to be refined. The tree view interface lets her create and move directories and populate ....
