Abstract:
A hypertext analyzing system comprising:a hyperlink transition frequency acquiring unit for analyzing access history information on the access to a hypertext system, also analyzing a hyperlink structure, and calculating a hyperlink transition frequency between pages linked together by a hyperlink; an attribute extracting unit for extracting at least two of a plurality of presentation attributes from a page set linked by a hyperlink; a correlation analyzing unit for calculating a correlation between the hyperlink transition frequency and each of the at least two attributes; a correlation data storing unit for storing data obtained by the correlation analyzing unit; an attribute analyzing unit for comparing the at least two attributes which have been extracted from a designated page set using the correlation data stored in the correlation data storing unit and thereby acquiring information on which attribute should be modified and to what degree the chosen attribute should be modified, and predicting what effect on the hyperlink transition frequency between the pages of the page set will be obtained when the chosen attribute is so modified, on the assumption that the hyperlink transition frequency between the pages of the page set is to be changed; and a display unit for displaying the result obtained by the attribute analyzing unit.
