Σύνοψη	Directed closeness centrality extends the classical closeness measure to directed networks by separately quantifying how quickly a node can be reached by others (in-closeness) and how quickly it can reach all others (out-closeness). It is a foundational node-level metric in social network analysis and graph theory, used wherever link direction conveys meaningful asymmetry such as citation flows, information cascades, or authority hierarchies.	Directed PageRank is a link-based authority scoring algorithm that assigns importance scores to nodes in a directed graph by iteratively redistributing rank through outgoing edges. Introduced by Brin and Page in 1998 as the backbone of Google Search, it measures not just how many in-links a node has but how authoritative the nodes pointing to it are.
