Abstract
The process of exploring is an important aspect of a user’s general understanding of the environment they are navigating through in computational systems. The research outlined in this paper briefly presents an empirical study of user exploratory behaviour within the web context. It outlines the development of an exploratory grid obtained from this study and its use in forming the DIANEnx task model, enabling user interface and web designers to model users’ exploration.
