Look >forward to more -- Brad Schrick You can find some stats (distribution of in- and out-bound edges) on a reasonably representative subset of the Web (36,000 documents) in section 3.2 of my paper for the Chicago WWW conference: http://rbse.jsc.nasa.gov/eichmann/www-f94/ethics/ethics.html I don't have distinct data on Virtual Library documents, however. My gut feel from looking at various VL documents is that they aren't all that atypical w.r.t. number of outbound links, but are at the high end of the distribution. - Dave ----------- David Eichmann Asst.
