WebJournal: Visualization of Web Journey
Bipin C. Desai
August 1994.
-Path from one document to another must be explicit (shown as solid line).
-Jumping from one part of a document to an anchor in the same document
may be suppressed to save screen real estate. However, the user may
choose to have this displayed by an option. The system should keep
these path internally. Back path need not be shown
-Returning to a previously visited document by a link in current document.
-Path should be shown. However it should be distinguished from forward
path since it is a "non-hierarchical" path.
- Moving to another document by entering an URL starts a new journey.
-Indication when this new journey was started should be indicated by
yet another "non-hierarchical" path
-Moving to a clone window (this is with the same document).
-When this was done should be shown by effectively starting a new
journey with a clone of the current document
Other features:
-select a set of connected nodes for later reference,
-collapse a subtree at a node to save real estate and ignore details
-collect a set of nodes for printing a document which only has next and previous widgets.
-random loading of any previously visited node.
More details to come:
The beta release of WebJournal was announced in May 1995. See here!.
