In recent years, several information retrieval methods using information about the Web-links are developed, such as HITS and Trawling. In order to analyze the Web-links dividing into links inside each Web site (local-links) and links between Web sites (global-links) for the information retrieval, it is required that a proper model of the Web site, a phrase used ambiguously in daily life.
