Abstract :
Normally, the unit for a ranking model in a Web IR system is a Web page, which is, sometimes, just an information fragment. A larger unit considering the linkage information may be desired to reduce the cognitive overload for users to identify the complete information from the interconnected Web. We propose a ranking model to measure the relevance of the whole Web site. We take some illustrations to show the idea and provide evidences to indicate its effectiveness.
