Abstract

The web is the product of a planet-wide, implicit collaboration between content creators on an unprecedented scale. Although authors on the web come from a diverse set of backgrounds and often operate independently their collective work embodies surprising regularities at various levels. In this paper we describe patterns in both structural and temporal properties of the web.
