Re-tooling the Network

Parsing the Links and Codes of the Web World

Greg Elmer

Ryerson University, Canada, gelmer{at}ryerson.ca

This article discusses the emergence of experimental Internet research software or ‘toolkits’ that trace the dynamics of web networking. The author argues that such projects have focused too heavily on web hyperlinks as an indicator of social and political association. The article concludes by offering a broader vision for the analysis of web code, expanding beyond the mapping of HREF tags (hyperlink code) toward an understanding of the larger structure and deployment of all web code and content (including text, images, met tags, robot.txt commands and so on).

Key Words: computer networks • hyperlink • Internet mapping • Internet research
