Abstract

The Web information space is rapidly growing in the sizeand the diversity of both its data and its audience. A consequence is that Web Information Systems (WIS) in manyapplications replace existing traditional (not Web based) information systems. Since the nature of WIS differs from thenature of traditional information systems there is a strongdemand for design methodologies specifically oriented towards WIS design. The complexity of WIS implies the needfor an effective design process and a rigorous and systematic design approach. We argue that besides the quality ofthe navigation that is typical for Web (hypermedia) dataalso the adaptation of the presented content is a desiredfeature of a modern WIS. In this paper we briefly describethe navigation and adaptation design in selected WIS design methodologies, RMM, OOHDM, UWE, and particulary Hera.
