Through the Web communication development, new users’ needs are rising related to the amount of information and its findability, and also in relation to the increasing necessity to ensure quality for user-technology interaction. The current model of information ranking by search engines is based on quantitative Web Popularity (WP) and it binds the user to a cognitive adaptation based on an heterodirected rank-system restrictions which transposes the rich-get-richer effect from technologies to reality. Several works in literature show the need to implement the current Web-ranking models through the introduction of algorithms, which are able to evaluate the quality of pages and the information they contain on a qualitative level easing users’ cognitive adaptation to the technology.

Abstract
Through the Web communication development, new users’ needs are rising related to the amount of information and its findability, and also in relation to the increasing necessity to ensure quality for user-technology interaction. The current model of information ranking by search engines is based on quantitative Web Popularity (WP) and it binds the user to a cognitive adaptation based on an heterodirected rank-system restrictions which transposes the rich-get-richer effect from technologies to reality. Several works in literature show the need to implement the current Web-ranking models through the introduction of algorithms, which are able to evaluate the quality of pages and the information they contain on a qualitative level easing users’ cognitive adaptation to the technology.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
