N2 - In this paper we outline a site map application on the World
Wide Web, whose aim is to improve navigation and
orientation within the web site of the Human
Communication Research Centre (HCRC). The map takes
the form of a graphical fisheye view of the web site with
the current node as the single focus. We discuss the semiautomatic
process whereby the site map description is
produced, describe how it is turned into a relevant map, and
discuss reaction and usage patterns. We outline how the
approach can be extended in three future directions:
affording the user greater control of the graph drawing
variables; covering more of the site, and indeed the web in
the large; and using the user's interaction history to
constrain the site map display further.
