Abstract
Effective access to information on the Web requires constant improvement in existing search, navigation and visualization approaches due to the size, complexity and dynamic nature of the web information space. We combine and extend personalization approaches, faceted browsers, graph-based visualization and tree-based history visualization in order to provide users with advanced information exploration and discovery capabilities. We present our personalized exploratory browser Factic as a unique client-side tool for effective Semantic Web exploration.
