Visualization

Abstract

In this paper, we present visualizations of parts of the network of documents comprising the World Wide Web. We describe how we are using the Hy+ visualization system to visualize the portion of the World Wide Web explored during a browsing session. As the user browses, the web browser communicates the URL and title of each document fetched as well as all the anchors contained in the document. Hy+ displays graphically the history of the navigation and multiple views of the structure of that portion of the web.
