Abstract

This article presents conceptual navigation and NavCon, an architecture that implements this navigation in World-Wide Web pages. NavCon architecture makes use of ontology as metadata to contextualize user's search for information. Conceptual navigation is a technique to browse Web sites within a context. Context filters relevant retrieved information. Context also drives user's navigation through paths that meet his needs. Based on ontologies, NavCon automatically inserts conceptual links in Web pages. By using these links, users may navigate in a graph representing ontology concepts and their relationships. Browsing this graph, it is possible to reach documents associated with user's desired ontology concept. An enterprise may implement conceptual navigation to improve user's search for information in a knowledge management environment. Using a ontology to conduct navigation in a Intranet, it is possible to the user have a better understanding about enterprise knowledge structure.
