Abstract
The importance of a Web page is an inherently subjective matter, which depends on the readers interests, knowledge and attitudes. But there is still much that can be said objectively about the relative importance of Web pages. This paper describes PageRank, a mathod for rating Web pages objectively and mechanically, effectively measuring the human interest and attention devoted to them. We compare PageRank to an idealized random Web surfer. We show how to efficiently compute PageRank for large numbers of pages. And, we show how to apply PageRank to search and to user navigation.

MENTA: inducing multilingual taxonomies from wikipedia

TL;DR: This paper investigates how entities from all editions of Wikipedia as well as WordNet can be integrated into a single coherent taxonomic class hierarchy, resulting in MENTA (Multilingual Entity Taxonomy), a resource that describes 5.4 million entities and is presumably the largest multilingual lexical knowledge base currently available.

The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine.

Sergey Brin, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1998 - 
TL;DR: Google as discussed by the authors is a prototype of a large-scale search engine which makes heavy use of the structure present in hypertext and is designed to crawl and index the Web efficiently and produce much more satisfying search results than existing systems.

Efficient crawling through URL ordering

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study in what order a crawler should visit the URLs it has seen, in order to obtain more "important" pages first, and they show that a good ordering scheme can obtain important pages significantly faster than one without.

HyPursuit: a hierarchical network search engine that exploits content-link hypertext clustering

TL;DR: Experience with HyPursuit suggests that abstraction functions based on hypertext clustering can be used to construct meaningful and scalable cluster hierarchies, and is encouraged by preliminary results on clustering based on both document contents and hyperlink structures.

The quest for correct information on the Web: hyper search engines

TL;DR: This paper presents a novel method to extract from a web object its “hyper” informative content, in contrast with current search engines, which only deal with the “textual’ informative content.
