Automatic generation of link collections and their visualization

In this paper, we describe a method of generating link collections in a user-specified category by comprehensively collecting existing link collections and analyzing their hyperlink references. Moreover, we propose a visualization method for a bird's-eye view of the generated link collections. Our methods are effective in grasping intuitively the trend of significant sites and keywords in a category.
