The Ezploration of Web Sites with Link Structure Graphs
Standard Web graph representation fails to capture topic association and functional groupings of links and their occurrence across pages in the site. So we introduce a novel method for representing hypertext organization of Web sites in the form of Link Structure Graphs (LSGs). The LSG captures both the organization of links at the page level and the overall hyperlink structure of the collection of pages. Our approach is supported by the findings of an exploratory user study that reveals how the hyperlink structure is generally perceived by the users. We apply the algorithm to a sample of Web sites and discuss their link structure properties.
