1. A computer-implemented method of ranking a relevance of a node in a linked set of nodes, comprising:
- determining an authority weight for said node using a non-compound, non-normalized Forward operator and without using a Backward operator;
determining a hub weight for said node using a non-compound, non-normalized Backward operator and without using a Forward operator such that said steps of determining are mathematically decoupled;
ranking said relevance based upon said authority weight and said hub weight;
searching, navigating or retrieving one or more information objects in one or more electronic archives based upon said ranking; and
storing, displaying or transmitting a result based on said searching, navigating or retrieving.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for hypertext link analysis that includes independently employing non-normalized backward and forward operators to obtain two independent weights for each document in a hypertext-linked graph, for subsequent ranking and analysis.

7. A system for ranking a relevance of a node in a linked set of nodes comprising:
-
a calculator configured to calculate an authority weight for said node and a hub weight for said node, using, respectively, a non-compound, non-normalized Forward operator without using a Backward operator and a non-compound, non-normalized Backward operator without using a Forward operator such that said calculations are mathematically decoupled, said calculator further configured to rank said relevance based upon said authority weight and said hub weight; and a computer-based search engine configured to search, navigate or retrieve one or more information objects in one or more electronic archives based upon said ranked relevance, and to store, display or transmit a corresponding result. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer-implemented method of ranking a relevance of a node in a linked set of nodes, the improvement comprising:
-
determining one of an authority weight for said node using a non-compound, non-normalized Forward operator and without using a Backward operator, a hub weight for said node using a non-compound, non-normalized Backward operator and without using a Forward operator; ranking said relevance based upon said one of an authority weight and a hub weight; searching, navigating or retrieving one or more information objects in one or more electronic archives based upon said ranking; and storing, displaying or transmitting a result based on said searching, navigating or retrieving. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

21. A system for ranking a relevance of a node in a linked set of nodes, comprising:
-
means for determining an authority weight for said node using a non-compound, non-normalized Forward operator without using a Backward operator; means for determining a hub weight for said node using a non-compound, non-normalized Backward operator without using a Forward operator such that said means for determining an authority weight and said means for determining a hub weight are mathematically decoupled; means for ranking said relevance based upon said authority weight and said hub weight; means for searching, navigating or retrieving one or more information objects in one or more electronic archives based upon said ranking; and means for storing, displaying or transmitting a result output from said means for searching, navigating or retrieving. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A system for ranking a relevance of a node in a linked set of nodes, the improvement comprising:
-
means for determining one of an authority weight for said node using a non-compound, non-normalized Forward operator without using a Forward operator, and a hub weight for said node using a non-compound, non-normalized Backward operator without using a Backward operator; means for ranking said relevance based upon said one of an authority weight and a hub weight; means for searching, navigating or retrieving one or more information objects in one or more electronic archives based upon said ranking; and means for storing, displaying or transmitting a result output from said means for searching, navigating or retrieving. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
