Web Science/Part2: Emerging Web Properties/How big is the World Wide Web/Problems with the question about the size of the Web
Problems with the question about the size of the Web
- The question will remain unanswered during the lesson and the entire course.
- question of size is underspecified because a measure is needed.
- measure depends heavily on the choice of how we model the web.
- We have not yet defined what we mean when we say World Wide Web.
