You can modify whichever way you want - it's up to you. These methods simply ensure that the score data (not just the CrawlDatum.getScore(), but possibly a multitude of metadata collected on the way) is passed to appropriate segment parts. E.g. in distributeScoreToOutlink() you could simply set the default score for new pages to a fixed value, without actually using the score information from the source page. -- Best regards, Andrzej Bialecki <>< ___. ___ ___ ___ _ _ __________________________________ [__ || __|__/|__||\/| Information Retrieval, Semantic Web ___|||__|| \| || | Embedded Unix, System Integration http://www.sigram.com Contact: info at sigram dot com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
