Web Graphs and P2P
Web Graphs
All people in computer science and some fields of engineering (e.g. industrial engineering?) are very familiar with “Graphs” — those nodes and arcs. And, actually, we can represent the web as a [huge] graph. Where node=webpage, arc=(hyper)link.
From this representation, it gives us a way to understand the characteristic of the web better (as we do well with normal graphs).

Peer-to-Peer
Talking about representing document/site as a node in a graph, Peer-to-Peer people already done this since their early day.
Summarization for Search Engine

Instead of just only page title, url, and few first (nonsense) paragraphs from the page.
Short summaries may help users to decide which pages are whattheywant and whattheydontwant.
