Abstract
WebMap is intended to help avoiding the well known "lost in hyperspace" situation. It does this by creating and updating a two-dimensional graphical map of a user's "journey through hyperspace " by dynamically analyzing the navigation actions. WebMap communicates with the WWW browser Mosaic, so user interactions with Mosaic are immediately reflected in WebMap's graphics window. On the other hand, WebMap may be used to control Mosaic, e.g., to cause it to load a new document into one of its windows or store a document in PostScript format. 1 Introduction This article presents an extension to the well known hypertext navigation techniques such as linear history and hotlists (often called "bookmarks "). Some of the commonly used hypertext browsers record the complete navigation history, others optimize the history by cutting branches originating from `backsteps'. However, history mechanisms are not very useful for retrieval of documents visited a long time ago. Hotlists, on the other han...
