Abstract

The most habitual systems in Information Retrieval are based both on getting a homogeneous and easily processed representation of documents and searches, and on the subsequent calculation of some function that expresses the degree of similarity between a given search and each one of the documents in a collection. Generally, such representations take the words or terms that appear in the documents as base. Web pages, however, contain hyperlinks, which suggests the possibility of representing such pages as a function of hyperlinks, instead of terms. We describe an exploratory experiment carry out to estimate the viability of this hypothesis. The results of this experiment suggest that hyperlinks can be applied advantageously in the representation of web pages, but it is also necessary to define and apply corrective mechanisms.
