Traversal Strategies

Each traversal strategy has to provide at least a next page and a previous page operation to define a linear order for all pages of a domain. Such a linear order is the basis for a ``hardcopy'' of a domain.

Example:

For the domain structure type hierarchy, a set of traversal strategies may be . Operations which could be provided by WebMap for these strategies are:

next page
previous page
up one hierarchy level
home to domain entry page

The semantics of, e.g., the next-page operation is different for preorder-traversal and for inorder-traversal, but both strategies define a linear order for the pages of a domain.

The code implementing new traversal strategies and domain structure types could be supplied as meta-information of HTML pages (see section 3.4).
