Abstract :
An important aspect of Web navigation systems is to maintain the users sense of orientation and facilitate navigation within the context of the total information space. Most navigation systems (or browsers) display pages that contain very limited orientation information apart from links to other pages. To provide a global overview we have developed a navigation interface based on diagrams. A diagram-based system can display global views and can present detailed local views of any of the nodes
