.... to reduce complexity in organising information and to aid the user s memory by exploiting prior knowledge from different domains [Carrol, Mack and Kellogg 1988] However, forcing a single, detailed metaphor can be both counterproductive and cumbersome, and restrict inventiveness and creativity [ Waterworth and Chignell 1989] In Merz, users can choose to view information organised by different metaphors, depending on the task at hand. The Merz application Fig. 2 Overview of the main components in the Merz implementation. Parallel, double width lines indicate user interfaces. The structure of Merz, which is ....

....spaces might be. As with life in general, such interactions mean what they are experienced to be. 2 1 Introduction There are many ways in which the world s most popular hypermedia system (by far) the World Wide Web (Web) does not reflect the hypermedia usability research that preceded it (see [1] for a catalogue of what were considered the key research issues at that time) Perhaps the most unexpected thing about the Web as a whole is that no one is designing it. Three other ways in which it has not conformed to what was expected of hypermedia, are: first, the use of threedimensional ....

....items of information) may be divided into two kinds of activity: navigation by the user, and search by the system. These correspond to the two main styles of human computer interaction: direct manipulation (navigation) and conversation (to elicit and receive the results of search by the system) [Waterworth and Chignell, 1989; 1991] expand on these two kinds of activity and point to ways in which they can be satisfactorily combined. Under the Information Islands model, users navigate around the world at large in Vehicles. Public search agents are located in the world at large, private agents are found only in users ....
....a sense of the hierarchical organisation of the world. This type of geographical metaphor has the advantage of being highly intuitive and easily understandable, as compared to more abstract or limited approaches such as graphical charts, systems of folders, or traditional sets of directories (see [Waterworth and Chignell, 1989]) However, it is not clear how users will cope with the model as it evolves through use. Another issue addressed by the model is that of how users customise their own workspaces so that selected items, such as the services or applications they want to use frequently, are directly available to ....
