More concretely, a formula for the fractal dimension in function of the average number of hyperlinks per page is presented and examples are calculated. In general the complexity of these systems is high. This is also expressed by formulae for the total number of hypertext systems that are possible, given a fixed number of documents. | Keywords: | fractal; informetry; hypertext system; WWW, hyperlink | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/801 | ISI #: | 000071723600010 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 1999 |
