Abstract

Navigating through a hypermedia retrieval system bears the problem of selecting an item from a large number of options available to continue the trajectory. Ranking these options according to some criterion is a method to ease the task of navigation. A number of ranking strategies have already been proposed. This paper presents a formalization of the concept of ranking, and of the aforementioned strategies. Furthermore we propose two strategies allowing a personalized approach to ranking.
