Abstract
The notion of browsing has demonstrated the utility of hypermedia systems for organising, storing and retrieving information. As described in Chapter 2, users of such systems can browse across several pre-defined paths called links, to access information which is organised into units of storage called nodes. Hypermedia systems can be user-friendly systems which can provide useful interfaces and which require no particular system expertise from the user when compared to information retrieval systems, for example. However, experience has demonstrated that extensive browsing has its own limitations; in the general context of large, complex hypertexts this approach for retrieving information supposes much time-consuming search by trial-and-error, and users often have to face the well-known problem of disorientation ([9], [24]). After some time, users may be lost in the network and need to know where they are, where to go to resume effective browsing, and how to be properly relocated in the hyperbase.
