The project investigates the factors that influence the exploratory interactions of users with new information domains. In this situation, one of the crucial factors driving the user's behaviour is interest. We view interest as the process of responding to the significance of information. As a process it has triggering conditions, it has a duration, and there are conditions which ensure its continuation. In general, we regard a user's path through an information space as being determined by the following principle: Principle of maximal interestingness - In situations in which a user explores an information space, her route through the space is along the path of maximal interestingness.
