A Tool for Individualizing the Web

چکیده
The increasing complexity of navigating the Internet is becoming one of the fundamental obstacles to its eeective use. This is due to the nature of the Internet, principally, a disorganized collection of both sites and site documents whose exponential growth rate rapidly is outstripping any user's ability to master it. There are two ways to deal with this complexity: reorganize the structure of the Internet or give each user the ability to organize an individual perspective of the Internet. Although the former would produce more global beneet, the latter is both easier to accomplish and potentially more beneecial to any individual or group of users. Our approach, therefore, is to create a navigation tool which copes with Internet complexity at the individual, rather than the organizational, level. This tool, Paint (Per-sonalized, Adaptive Internet Navigation Tool), allows the user to impose a hierarchical organization on Internet sites and documents of interest by creating categories under which to group sites. Such categorization can be used not only by an individual user, but also can be shared among groups of users with similar interests. Paint will also provide local automatic classiication based on user parameters and user behavior. That is, Paint will record visited locations and categorize them according to past use. The user is then free to examine the automated organization, modify it, and make it a personalized view of the Internet. In our report, we will describe the Paint tool, its use, and some preliminary investigations of local, automatic categorization.
