Dear Sir,
I'm a med student in Brazil and my faculty department, together with the
Informatics department and the Medical Informatics are planing to build a
search engine in order to index the medical information in Portuguese on the
internet. It will be a very specific search engine with a Medical Thesaurus.
I was browsing the web looking for information on how to sort the results
(which I consider the most difficult part) when I came accross the PageRank
methodology. It seems to be a very good ideia. However, what seems to be the
major paper on the PageRank algorithm (Lawrence Page, Sergey Brin, Rajeev
Motwani, Terry Winograd. The PageRank Citation Ranking: Bringing Order to
the Web. Manuscript in progress), is no longer to be found at the URL where
all of its references point to:
http://google.stanford.edu/~backrub/pageranksub.ps
I wonder whether this paper has disappeared from the web because Google has
gone commercial, and they don't want people to find out about the details of
the methodology (unfortunately a common occurrence once web research gets to
the stage where it really works), or because the "manuscript in progress"
never got finished and they gave up on it.
My question is: does anybody know where I can find out more PageRank? As you
have a citation of the manuscript in your developers site, I thought that
you, or another developer probably has a copy of the manuscript stored on
your hard disks and I was wondering if you would be kind enough to send it
to me.
Thanking you in advance,
Rafael Frederico Bruns
