Supporting semantic navigation

Authors Info & Claims
Published:18 August 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper we outline an approach to improving information interaction in exploratory search based on the concept of semantic navigation. We introduce the concept of semantic navigation, discuss some approaches to providing support for semantic navigation at the interface level, and introduce the example of reading tools that have been developed in the context of the Open Journal Systems.
