Browsing in a Hypermedia System with Nested Composite Nodes. Muchaluat, D. C., Soares, L. F. G., Fernando, L., Soares, G., & Casanova, M. A. 1995.
abstract   bibtex   
: Navigating through complex hypermedia documents is not an easy task for users as the number of nodes and the density of links become very large. In order to improve user orientation, it is necessary to provide information about the overall structure of the hyperdocument, showing connections among nodes and mainly details about the navigation possibilities. The implementation of these navigation tools is still a challenge to hypermedia system designers. The main goal of this report is to present some techniques to build graphical browsers for hypermedia systems that allow compositions of nodes. First, we present the basic concepts of hypermedia models with nested composite nodes, showing the importance of navigation tools in order to guide the user within the hyperspace. Then, we present our proposal of a navigation browser that extends the fisheye-view strategy to nested compositions. We also outline an implementation of the browser illustrating the ideas proposed. Lastly, we discuss...
