Abstract

Supporting the exploration of large web sites remainsa challenge. Visitors require site overviews to guide theirexploration. Text based search facilities tend to beunsatisfactory for exploration as they require specificinformation and typically return lists of pages where therelationship between these pages is not known. This paperpresents an interface that provides multiple overviews of aweb site. Each overview presents an independentclassification tree such as web page position, file type, filesize and last update date which also supports selection.Our interface combines the overview panels into a set ofcoordinated query filters. We present a new coordinationthat supports both flexible incremental querying guided byincremental overviews across the multiple classifications,and supports independent global overviews.
