WebMap - A Graphical Hypertext Navigation Tool

The Second International WWW Conference Fall '94 in Chicago

A postscript version of this document is also available. There are only minor differences to this HTML version.

Abstract:

WebMap is intended to help avoiding the well known ``lost in hyperspace'' situation. It does this by creating and updating a two-dimensional graphical map of a user's ``journey through hyperspace'' by dynamically analyzing the navigation actions.

WebMap communicates with the WWW browser Mosaic, so user interactions with Mosaic are immediately reflected in WebMap's graphics window. On the other hand, WebMap may be used to control Mosaic, e.g., to cause it to load a new document into one of its windows or store a document in PostScript format.
