Studying of structure of webspace of the SB RAS by webometrics and graph theory methods

Reporter: Klimenko O.A.

The analysis of webspace of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences by methods of webometrics and graph theory is presented. The webspace of the SB RAS is understood as a set of sites of the scientific organizations of the SB RAS and information relationships between them.
Methods of webometrics are used for the statistical analysis of contents of websites and communications between them. For this purpose, services of leading search engines and specially developed programs are applied. The criteria used for drawing up a rating of websites of the scientific organizations of the SB RAS are described.
To study of information communications between sites of the organizations, their representation in the form of webgraph is used. By webgraph we mean a directed graph which vertices correspond to websites, and relations between sites are defined by existence of links at each other. Structural and metric properties of this webgraph and its fragments are studied. In particular, web communicators are found and the structure of maximal bicomponent is described. The structure of the subgraphs describing interdisciplinary interactions is considered. Numerical parameters for characterization of communications between websites are calculated.
Along with research of a current state of webspace of the SB RAS, the retrospective analysis is carried out.
This work is supported by Presidium of the SB RAS within the interdisciplinary integration project No. 21, 2012-2014.
