Abstract

Conventional Web bookmarks only contain URLs and titlesof Web pages that users are interested in. This makes theprocess of remembering, sharing or ranking such pages difficult.The "context" of users' navigation can be describedas collections of browsed pages. Conventional bookmarksdo not contain such information. We believe that such thecontext information conveys the users' intention and the importanceof the bookmarks.In this paper, we introduce a notion of context-dependentWeb bookmarks that reflects users' browsing histories.Context-dependent Web bookmark consist of (1) representativekeywords of bookmarked pages and browsed pages,(2) the ranking value of the bookmarked pages calculatedby its context, as well as the URL and the title of the pagethat the user bookmarked. The context-dependent bookmarkswill make it possible for users to remember the situationof the bookmarking process, grasp the degree of significanceof the bookmark, and share the bookmark amongmultiple users. Furthermore, it becomes possible to reusecontext-dependent bookmarks as queries, which could beexecuted for unvisited Web pages. We also describe our Webbrowser prototype system based on the context-dependentbookmark function, and our experimental results.
