Abstract

In this paper 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. Queries of the visual query language GraphLog can be issued at any time to query and reformat the visualizations.
