Abstract
Due to the recent and rapid advance of the WWW technology, a huge amount of information is available via the Internet. However, it is difficult for users to find and utilize relevant information. Generally, querying and browsing are both indispensable to access to the required information. In this paper, we propose a scheme to support the browsing phase of the information search based on specification of the user’s interest. In our scheme, each user is given virtual WWW pages reflecting his/her interest. Each virtual WWW page is dynamically generated based on the logical document structure extracted from the original page. Our approach makes it possible to browse the WWW space from his/her viewpoint and to identify required information more easily. We also show how such a scheme can be realized in a non-intrusive way in the current WWW browsing environment.
