A web graph[edit]

The webgraph describes the directed links between pages of the World Wide Web. A graph, in general, consists of several vertices, some pairs connected by edges. In a directed graph, edges are directed lines or arcs. The webgraph is a directed graph, whose vertices correspond to the pages of the WWW, and a directed edge connects page X to page Y if there exists a hyperlink on page X, referring to page Y.[2]

A sub graph[edit]

A graph whose vertices and edges are subsets of another graph.[3]

The web as directed graph[edit]

Each of the nodes represents a web site. Each edge represents a link either coming TO a website or leaving FROM a website.

In the case of our example above, node A links to node B. Node D also links to node B.

Do you understand this?[edit]

Standards[edit]
