Abstract: (arXiv)
Given any simple biorientable graph it is shown that there exists a weak {*}-Hopf algebra constructed on the vector space of graded endomorphisms of essential paths on the graph. This construction is based on a direct sum decomposition of the space of paths into orthogonal subspaces one of which is the space of essential paths. Two simple examples are worked out with certain detail, the ADE graph A3A_{3} and the affine graph A[2]A_{[2]}. For the first example the weak {*}-Hopf algebra coincides with the so called double triangle algebra. No use is made of Ocneanu's cell calculus.
