以受众为中心的万维网地图绘制:从超链接分析出发
Mapping an Audience Centric World Wide Web: A Departure From Hyperlink Analysis
摘要:
本文认为,地图的Web的结构完全基于技术基础设施,如超链接可能承担基于Web使用的地图的相似之处,因为文化因素驱动后者在更大程度上。为了验证这一论点,本研究构建了两个网络地图的1000个全球最流行的Web域名,一个基于超链接,另一个使用“以受众为中心”的方法与关系的基础上,这些域之间的共享观众流量。对这两个网络的分析表明,与具有少数主导“核心”网站的超链接网络的集中结构不同,受众网络更加分散,并在更大程度上沿着地理语言线聚集。
英文摘要:
This paper argues that maps of the Web's structure based solely on technical infrastructure such as hyperlinks may bear little resemblance to maps based on Web usage, as cultural factors drive the latter to a larger extent. To test this thesis, the study constructs two network maps of 1000 globally most popular Web Domains, one based on hyperlinks and the other using an "audience centric" approach with ties based on shared audience traffic between these domains. Analyses of the two networks reveal that unlike the centralized structure of the hyperlinks network with few dominant "core" websites, the audience network is more decentralized and clustered to a larger extent along geo-linguistic lines.
