Abstract

A fundamental issue is still not addressed in current web navigation designs is the consistency of navigation models across different websites. In addition, almost all of the current designs are static and passive; users have to adapt their navigation behaviors to each model and follow it all the time on a particular website. This research presents a new browser integrated web navigation model which features a browser add-on called Sitemap Explorer to dynamically discover and load sitemap files and visualize them to users in a model of their own choices. The solution provides a consistent and personalizable client interface for the complex and unpredictable web, and offers rich functionalities and flexibility for users to easily manage and adapt web navigation to their needs.
