Abstract

We present the software tool "Web Graph Analyzer". This tool is designed to perform a comprehensive analysis of the Web Graph structure. By Web Graph we mean a graph whose vertices are Web pages and whose edges are hyper-links. With the help of the Web Graph Analyzer we can study the local graph characteristics such as numbers and sets of incoming/outgoing links to/from a given page, the page level relative to a given root page, and the global graph characteristics such as PageRank, Giant Strongly Connected Component, the number of dangling nodes. The Web Graph Analyzer has a user friendly GUI that allows an easy collection of a part of WWW and its thorough investigation. The Web Graph Analyzer is based on the Oracle DBMS which scales well with the large volumes of data.
