Abstract

At a finer level, Amitay speculates about the use of language on the Web. The Web may be one large corpus of text, but she suggests that communities will express themselves by the conventions used for writing hypertext. It may be that new information technologies will spawn new communities.

Abstract

Weblogs are gaining momentum as one of most versatile tools for online scholarly communication. Since academic weblogs tend to be used by scholars to position themselves in a disciplinary blogging community, links are essential to their construction. The aim of this article is to analyze the reasons for linking in academic weblogs and to determine how links are used for distribution of information, collaborative construction of knowledge, and construction of the blog's and the blogger's identity. For this purpose I analyzed types of links in 15 academic blogs, considering both sidebar links and in-post links. The results show that links are strategically used by academic bloggers for several purposes, among others to seek their place in a disciplinary community, to engage in hypertext conversations for collaborative construction of knowledge, to organize information in the blog, to publicize their research, to enhance the blog's visibility, and to optimize blog entries and the blog itself.

Abstract

Navigating through hyperlinks within a Web site to look for information from one of its Web pages without the support of a site map can be inefficient and ineffective. Although the content of a Web site is usually organized with an inherent structure like a topic hierarchy, which is a directed tree rooted at a Web site's homepage whose vertices and edges correspond to Web pages and hyperlinks, such a topic hierarchy is not always available to the user. In this work, we studied the problem of automatic generation of Web sites' topic hierarchies. We modeled a Web site's link structure as a weighted directed graph and proposed methods for estimating edge weights based on eight types of features and three learning algorithms, namely decision trees, naïve Bayes classifiers, and logistic regression. Three graph algorithms, namely breadth-first search, shortest-path search, and directed minimum-spanning tree, were adapted to generate the topic hierarchy based on the graph model. We have tested the model and algorithms on real Web sites. It is found that the directed minimum-spanning tree algorithm with the decision tree as the weight learning algorithm achieves the highest performance with an average accuracy of 91.9%.

Abstract

The reader of a hypertext document in a web environment, if maximum use of the document is to be obtained, must visualize the overall structure of the paths through the document as well as the document space. Graphic visualization displays of this space, produced to assist in navigation, are classified into four groups, and Heo and Hirtle compare three of these classes as to their effectiveness. Distortion displays expand regions of interest while relatively diminishing the detail of the remaining regions. This technique will show both local detail and global structure. Zoom techniques use a series of increasingly focused displays of smaller and smaller areas, and can reduce cogitative overload, but do not provide an easy movement to other parts of the total space. Expanding outline displays use a tree structure to allow movement through a hierarchy of documents, but if the organization has a wide horizontal structure, or is not particularly hierarchical in nature such display can break down. Three dimensional layouts, which are not evaluated here, place objects by location in three space, providing more information and freedom. However, the space must be represented in two dimensions resulting in difficulty in visually judging depth, size and positioning. Ten students were assigned to each of eight groups composed of viewers of the three techniques and an unassisted control group using either a large (583 selected pages) or a small (50 selected pages) web space. Sets of 10 questions, which were designed to elicit the use of a visualization tool, were provided for each space. Accuracy and time spent were extracted from a log file. Users views were also surveyed after completion. ANOVA shows significant differences in accuracy and time based upon the visualization tool in use. A Tukey test shows zoom accuracy to be significantly less than expanding outline and zoom time to be significantly greater than both the outline and control groups. Size significantly affected accuracy and time, but had no interaction with tool type. While the expanding tool class out performed zoom and distortion, its performance was not significantly different from the control group.

Rez. in: nfd 54(2003) H.8, S.497 (T. Mandl): "Gesetze der digitalen Anarchie - Hyperlinks im Internet entstehen als Ergebnis sozialer Prozesse und können auch als formaler Graph im Sinne der Mathematik interpretiert werden. Die Thematik Hyperlinks ist im Information Retrieval höchst aktuell, da Suchmaschinen die Link-Struktur bei der Berechnung ihrer Ergebnisse berücksichtigen. Algorithmen zur Bestimmung des "guten Rufs" einer Seite wie etwa PageRank von Google gewichten eine Seite höher, wenn viele links auf sie verweisen. Barabási erklärt dem Leser seines Buches darüber hinaus noch, wie es zu solchen Phänomenen kommt. Soziale Prozesse im Netz wirken so, dass bereits bekannte Seiten mit größerer Wahrscheinlichkeit auch wieder weitere Links oder neue Besucher anziehen. Barabási ist Physiker an der Notre-Dame University und ihm fehlt ebenso wie Huberman die informationswissenschaftliche Perspektive. Er fragt also kaum, wie kann das Wissen über Netzwerke zu Verbesserungen in Informationssystemen führen, die Benutzerbedürfnisse besser erfüllen. Gleichwohl lohnt sich die Lektüre auch für Informationswissenschaftler. Barabäsi stellt die aktuelle Forschung zur Netzwerkstruktur des Internets auf einfache Weise fast ohne Zugeständnisse an Aktualität und Komplexität dar. Wie Huberman verzichtet auch er weitgehend auf Formeln und andere Formalismen. Der in Ungarn geborene Barabási lässt darüber hinaus keine Anekdote aus, sei es über die Begründer der Graphen-Theorie, im peer-review abgelehnte Beiträge und persönliche Begegnungen mit anderen Forschern. Barabási beginnt mit einfachen Netzwerkstrukturen und schreitet didaktisch über internet-ähnliche Netzwerke weiter zu Anwendungen und praktischen Beispielen aus unterschiedlichsten Disziplinen. Er schafft mit seinem Buch "Linked" unter anderem Links zwischen der ungarischen Literatur, dem I-Love-You Computer-Virus, der Verbreitung von Aids, den Theorien Einsteins, den Aufsichtsräten der wichtigsten amerikanischen Firmen, dem Al-Qaeda-Netzwerk und der Struktur und der Funktion biologischer Zellen. Zu Beginn seines Buches berichtet Barabási von sogenannten kleinen Welten, in denen viele Objekte über wenige Verbindungen zusammenhängen. Ein Blick in den eigenen größeren Bekanntenkreis mag bestätigen, dass viele Menschen über wenige Schritte zwischen Bekannten erreichbar sind. Sowohl Barabäsi als auch Huberman gehen auf die Geschichte des ersten sozialwissenschaftlichen Experiments zu diesem Thema ein, das in den 1960er Jahren versuchte, die Anzahl von Schritten zwischen gemeinsamen Bekannten zu bestimmen, welche vom Mittleren Westen der USA an die Ostküste führt. Die genauere Struktur solcher Systeme, in denen manche Knoten weitaus mehr Beziehungen zu anderen eingehen als der Durchschnitt, führt hin zum Internet. Im Web lässt sich keineswegs immer ein Pfad zwischen zwei Knoten finden, wie noch vor wenigen Jahren vermutet wurde. Die durchschnittliche Entfernung war damals noch mit 19 Klicks berechnet worden. Vielmehr herrscht eine differenziertere Struktur, die Barabási vorstellt und in der zahlreiche Seiten in Sackgassen führen. Huberman wie Barabási diskutieren auch negative Aspekte des Internet. Während Huberman die Wartezeiten und Staus bei Downloads analysiert, bespricht Barabási die rasante Verbreitung von ComputerViren und weist auf die Grundlagen für diese Gefährdung hin. Das vorletzte Kapitel widmen übrigens beide Autoren den Märkten im Internet. Spätestens hier werden die wirtschaftlichen Aspekte von Netzwerken deutlich. Beide Titel führen den Leser in die neue Forschung zur Struktur des Internet als Netzwerk und sind leicht lesbar. Beides sind wissenschaftliche Bücher, wenden sich aber auch an den interessierten Laien. Das Buch von Barabási ist etwas aktueller, plauderhafter, länger, umfassender und etwas populärwissenschaftlicher."
