Now I think you are splitting semantic hairs. I believe the subset is a preselected corpus of expert documents. And then a predefined number of these pages are used. Nonetheless the subset is predefined and in that sense so is the comparision set.

My guess is that the corpus is derived using some type of applied semantic tools. In that regard Local Rank is proably more sophisticated than Hilltop. Hilltop proposed designating some types of documents or sites as expert, such as directories.
