China Web graph measurements and evolution

Abstract

With the huge number of Web pages on the World Wide Web, there are many characteristics that should be analyzed in the Web mining fields. As a subset of the global Web graph, China Web graph shows many different properties compared with the global Web graph from the structure to the evolution of the Web. In this paper, we indicate to study the China Web graph both on its static and dynamic nature, and then to analyze the similarity and difference between the global Web graph and China Web graph. A number of measurements and properties of the China Web graph are reported both on the Web page level and Web site level. Finally the evolution of the China Web graph will be represented from several aspects. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
