Reimagining Internet Geographies: A User-Centric Ethnological Mapping of the World Wide Web

“…This literature considers a country's position on the hyperlinks graph a proxy for its potential for development, and predictors of their interactions with other countries (e.g, Shumate & Dewitt, ; Park et al, ). Studies find similar results from mapping the WWW using connections between countries based on Internet Service Providers (Ruiz & Barnett, 2014) and webpages' content (Chung, Barnett & Park, ). These maps, consistent with other representations of the global digital divide (e.g., Graham, ) suggest that the Internet replicates the modern world system, with the Western world at its “core” and the rest of the world at its “peripheries.” Similarly, representations based on global Internet governance by transnational civil society organizations (e.g., Reporters Without Borders) typically highlight the “balkanization” of this global medium due to nationally imposed regulations such as access blockage, and developing countries that are not formal liberal democracies are portrayed as the Internet's “black holes.”…”

Evolution of the International Hyperlink Network

“…Future research should also examine the structure of the international Internet from various perspectives other than the hyperlink connections among a nation's domain names. Such perspectives might include the actual, physical bilateral bandwidth between countries and the structural equivalence of nations based on their common website use in IT, business, politics, and academia (Chung et al, 2014). For example, research on social networking services (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, and Weibo) might represent the process of forming hyperlink networks among users or organizations as an emerging means for communicating, collaborating, sharing, and organizing (Hsu, Park & Park, 2013;Jung, No, & Kim, 2014;Xiao, Li, Cao, & Tang, 2012;Zhang, Zhang, Ordóñez, De Pablos, & Sun, 2014).…”

“…During the data collection process, LexiURL (Thelwall, 2009) was used to automatically send numerous scripts to Yahoo and organize the returned data. The same data sets were previously used in different contexts: the ego network of the .com domain (Chung et al, 2014), international online content flow (Choi & Park, 2014), and Rosen et al (2011) Internet hyperlink n/a Lee and Park (2012) Interlink of world class university 2010 Hsu and Park (2012) Authorship, subject topic, website format. 2010 Chung et al (2014) Dotcom web community 2009 Choi and Park (2014) Internet host 2010 Barnett and Park (2014) Internet hyperlink, bandwidth, shared website 2010 Barnett et al (2015) Internet hyperlink, international student flow 2010 Huang and Sun (2015) Homeowner forum n/a Ruiz and Barnett (2015) Ownership of up and downstreams 2011…”

“…A hyperlink is the technological capability enabling one website to link seamlessly with anotherusually through the click of a mouse (Barnett & Park, 2005;Chung, Barnett, & Park, 2014). Hyperlinking between websites functions as a navigational tool allowing for various combinations of information (Park & Thelwall, 2006).…”
