The Jellyfish model of the World Wide Web topology represents the web as a core of highly connected nodes (web pages) surrounded by layers of less connected nodes. The Bow Tie model, on the other hand, divides the web into distinct zones: a strongly connected core, an 'IN' group leading into the core, an 'OUT' group leading out, and ...
It is known that a wide variety of abstract graphs exhibit the small-world property, e.g., random graphs and scale-free networks. Further, real world networks such as the World Wide Web and the metabolic network also exhibit this property. In the scientific literature on networks, there is some ambiguity associated with the term "small world".
The terms Internet and World Wide Web are often used interchangeably; it is common to speak of "going on the Internet" when using a web browser to view web pages. However, the World Wide Web, or the Web, is only one of a large number of Internet services, [19] a collection of documents (web pages) and other web resources linked by hyperlinks ...
The World Wide Web (WWW or simply the Web) is an information system that enables content sharing over the Internet through user-friendly ways meant to appeal to users beyond IT specialists and hobbyists. [1] It allows documents and other web resources to be accessed over the Internet according to specific rules of the Hypertext Transfer ...
It has also gained significant popularity in the following: anthropology, biology, [12] demography, communication studies, [3] [13] economics, geography, history, information science, organizational studies, [6] [8] physics, [14] political science, [15] public health, [16] [7] social psychology, development studies, sociolinguistics, and ...
Many use the World Wide Web to access news, weather and sports reports, to plan and book holidays and to find out more about their random ideas and casual interests. People use chat, messaging and e-mail to make and stay in touch with friends worldwide, sometimes in the same way as some previously had pen pals.
It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of interconnected smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.
Recent interest in scale-free networks started in 1999 with work by Albert-László Barabási and Réka Albert at the University of Notre Dame who mapped the topology of a portion of the World Wide Web, [5] finding that some nodes, which they called "hubs", had many more connections than others and that the network as a whole had a power-law ...
