....page as one of the biggest problems of web usage [19] Another 27.6 mentioned not being able to efficiently organize the retrieved information to be one of the biggest problems. In 1996, 37 of 322 users did not organize their bookmarks at all they just stay in the order they were created [1]. These data provide strong evidence that additional work in supporting revisitation of web pages is needed. The three primary mechanisms for revisitation in common web browsers are Back Button, Bookmarks or Favorites and the History List. The Back Button provides access to pages just visited ....

....showing promising results ( 31] 18] Bookmarks or Favorites for long term revisits require explicit action as well as the ability to know in advance that a certain page will be of interest in the future. Since bookmark lists grow with a fairly constant rate of about one page every five days [1], they are hard to maintain. 11] show that bookmarks contain about 5 duplicates and 25 invalid references. Finally, textual history lists are hard to scan and filter and in the case of Netscape even difficult to access. Any minor inefficiency in revisitation support will result in a massive ....

....the bookmark archive management is completely manual: the user has to reorganize the folders himself after he adds, deletes, or changes bookmarks . As the size of the archive grows, pool scalability of the current tools makes it hard to browse and retrieve bookmarks in a deeply nested hierarchy [16]. In this paper, we introduce an interactive tool that aims automatically analyses, categorizes and visually displays collections of Web pages. The tool can take personal bookmark archives or bookmark collections from different individuals and parse all the linked Web pages. Advanced data mining ....

....carried out on bookmark usage in the Web information space. A 1996 survey of 6619 Web users [15] reported that over 80 respondents cited bookmarks as a strategy for locating information, and organizing bookmarks became one of the top three Web usability problems. In his survey on 322 Web users [16], Abrams addressed why and how people create, use, and organize bookmarks, as well as the necessity to improve the organization, visualization, representation, and integration of bookmarks. These user studies provide scientific basis for the design of bookmark visualization and management ....

....are the most popular way to create personal information workspaces of web resources. Bookmarks consist of lists of URLs; typically the title of the web page is used as the label for the URL. Users may organize their bookmarks into a hierarchical category structure. Abrams, Baecker, and Chignell [1] carried out an extensive study of how several hundred web users used bookmarks. They observed a number of strategies for organizing bookmarks, including a flat ordered list, a single level of folders, and hierarchical folders. They also made four design recommendations to help users manage their ....

....goal by providing site profile data and interface mechanisms for viewing and exploring the data. Making this data visible means that users no longer had to select sites to browse based solely on titles and (sometimes) brief textual annotations. A chief complaint of subjects in the Abrams et al. [1] study was that titles were inadequate descriptors of site content and that was for sites that users already had browsed and decided to bookmark. Instead, users may visit only sites that have been endorsed (linked to) by many other sites or sites that are rich in a particular type of content ....

....user with sites that match the best his her information needs. Mainly it should propose to the user new sites that could interest her him. Actually the burden of feeding the bookmark list is exclusively on the charge of the user her himself. In fact as reported in an empirical study presented in (Abrams et al. 1998) bookmarks are mainly created for archival purposes. That s to say bookmarks save addresses of already visited sites. However, it is now well established that relevant resource discovery is the main problem that face the web users. Effective web resource discovery tools is a hot topic. Few systems ....

.... hierarchical structures may effectively enhance the retrieval time they introduce new problems : users must continually tradeoff the cost of organizing their bookmarks and remembering which bookmarks are in which folder versus the cost of having to deal with a disorganized set of bookmarks (Abrams et. al, 1998). Providing automated bookmark organization capabilities should enhance the global usage of bookmark systems (Maarek et. al, 1994) According to the empirical study reported in (Abrams 1999) only 23 of users file bookmarks at creation time and 26 of users never organized their bookmarks, The ....

....seems well suited. Bookmarks are quite effective for building a user profile since they explicitly embrace documents that a user has shown an interest in. However, not all users use bookmarks, and those who do use bookmarks, do not always bookmark everything they like or they find interesting (Abrams et al. 1998). In designing the UI agent, the goal was to make it completely adaptable to user work patterns. As such, the UI agent does not rely on any single activity that a user carries out, nor make any assumptions about the user, but rather utilises all activities that can be used for profiling. The user ....

In two recent surveys, users report that the use of bookmarks is among the three main problems they have when using the Internet (Abrams, 1998 ; Cockburn, 1999) We see several problems when using bookmarks : The number of bookmarks grows linearly with time (Abrams, 1998) and it becomes a real challenge for many users to organize this amount of data By storing the document URL and title, bookmarks are not representative enough to ....

....that motivated the application of fisheye views to menus. Managing ones favorite locations on the web is an important application of web browsers, but one study showed that most web browser users don t put more than about 35 items in their favorite lists before resorting to using hierarchies [1]. While hierarchies certainly help to organize information, this study found that while some people used hierarchies, many stopped adding new favorites altogether. The user interface for managing favorites may contribute to this. Since web browsers use pull down menus to store favorites, and since ....

....For example, someone might gather a collection of web sites on wireless telephony as part of a report they re preparing for their boss and a collection on the X Files as a service to their fellow fans. Librarians might prepare topical collections for their clients, and teachers for their students [1]. Topic management is a difficult task that is not supported well by current web tools. A common way to find an initial set of (potentially) relevant resources is to use a search engine like AltaVista or a directory like Yahoo. At this point, however, a user s work has just begun: the initial set ....
