Web Networks

This talk will describe ongoing efforts to study the topological and 
dynamical properties of link, lexical, and semantic networks stemming 
from various features of the World Wide Web. I will outline what we 
think, what we know, what we can use regarding the structure and 
content of the Web, and what the future of intelligent Web search may 
bring.
