Abstract

Traditional navigation of websites and web-based systems has a limited information value apart from text values of individual navigation items. We present a method for constructing an information-rich navigation, based on advantages of vertical menus, site maps and tag clouds. Our solution is theoretically grounded in classification of organization schemes and presents an arrangement by all organization schemes simultaneously. Layers of organization are distinguished by a combined use of textual, spatial and visual techniques. Proposed method utilizes combination of objective means of organization, increased information density and reduced interaction cost. This arrangement is expected to facilitate efficient browsing in web environment and is applicable also on learning or knowledge management systems.
