Interactive Dynamic Maps for Visualisation and Retrieval from Hypertext Systems

Hypermedia systems have become increasingly popular however, the early vision of hypermedia [4] as a panacea for easy access to large quantities of information has proven elusive. Many users complain of being “lost in hyperspace” and most current hypermedia systems must supplement their basic navigation strategies with search mechanisms (see Chapter 2 of this book). Even so, looking for information in a hypermedia system can be frustrating. Traditional interaction styles provide users with limited views of the information space being explored and hide most of the information (and its organisation). Users often have no idea of what information is contained within a web of documents until they actually find it. This leads to both navigation errors and badly formulated queries.
