Abstract

A networked information space is a collection of information entities connected by links. In this paper, we propose a method to determine if a given subset of a networked information space is randomly chosen or thematically unified, based solely on the link structure of the subset. The proposed method uses compressibility as a measure of the link structure. The method is illustrated with an example.
