Abstract

In this paper we further develop a new method for implementing multidimensional navigation. This technique is based on advantages of web-based techniques such as site maps, vertical menus and tag clouds. It combines high informational density of tags with structural quality of traditional hierarchical navigation. The result is organization by all org. schemes at once, increased information density and reduced interaction and attention-switching cost. Multidimensional navigation is expected to enhance efficiency of information retrieval especially on websites and web-based systems. It can be however applied also on information systems such as knowledge management or educational systems.
