Visualising Web Visitations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a technique, the Quantum Web Field, designed to give an ambient visualisation of the current activity on a web site. It uses the paths of past visitors to the site and a self-organising map to build a diffuse 'probabilistic' mapping of pages to cells in a 2D matrix, where highly traversed page-links tend to be closer to each other. The paths of current visitors appear as intelligible trails giving a sense of purposeful human activity rather than offering detailed analysis. The visualisation is not constrained by either the complexity or the number of pages in the site.

Exploring visualisation in web information retrieval
Most conventional web search engines return a small fraction of results per display in textual format. Such renderings require the user to scroll over multiple pages to find relevant results. To enhance the user’s ability to identify relevant documents among large sets of results, visualisation techniques are suggested. In addition, integrating the user in the process of query reformulation – b...
متن کاملBridging versioning and adaptive hypermedia in the dynamic web
Web Dynamics has been recently considered in the context of the analysis of how people search and re-search information on the web. There are lots of challenges and opportunities when considering user behaviour. In this paper we propose the way to tackle some of them by applying versioning methodologies (as a backend solution) in the context of content changes, user re-visitations and re-search...
متن کاملA Virtual Reality Topology Tool for Maintaining Web-sites
We present a Virtual Reality tool for interacting with a web-site, visualising its structure rather than the contents of individual pages. This tool recursively parses interlinked pages located on a given server (to some user specified depth), dynamically generating a 3D representation of the sites structure. Internet icons represent pages conforming to various protocols (http: mailto etc.) vis...
متن کاملLinDA - Visualising and Exploring Linked Data
The main goal of our work in the context of the LinDA (Linked Data Analytics) project is to offer small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) possibilities for integrating and consuming data by using Linked Data technologies. One of the major challenges of this project consists in providing user-friendly means of exploring and visualising Linked Data. To achieve this, a Semantic Web application h...
متن کاملData repositories in the Humanities and the Semantic Web: modelling, linking, visualising
The paper discusses the inherent potential of the Semantic Web and its related technologies for humanities research. The focal point lies on the extraction of semantic relations from heterogeneous XML based scholarly corpora using a webservice based infrastructure (XTriples). Especially the creation of methodologically distinct semantic corpora stemming from data sets originating in the humanit...
