“…Many studies have addressed different browsing types and strategies (Maglio and Matlock 1998) and support the view that movement is 'the' essential characteristic of browsing (Bates 1989). We all browse in various contexts picking out bits and pieces of information and selecting worthwhile information (Maglio and Barrett 2000); and we accomplish this by using a searching and scanning behaviour over organizations of the material (Obendorf andWeinreich 2003, Morkes andNielson 1997), interfaces to that material (Barrett et al 1997), and feedback about the material (Marchionini 1995). However, this browsing behaviour can become both complex and confusing due to the nonlinear nature of hypertext structures.…”

Use the word 'accessibility' in the presence of any HCI 1 specialist and they will immediately think of creating open interfaces that can be accessed both visually and audibly. Further, mention 'accessability' to any forward thinking group of Web developers and they will start to quote the Web Accessability Initiative Guidelines (WAI) and extol the virtues of accessability checking tools like 'Bobby'. Either way, both groups will focus on the obviously important area of 'sensory translation' but will miss one fundamental truth; profoundly blind people interact with their environment in a markedly different way from that of sighted individuals. We have realized that the ease of movement (mobility) around systems and information space (the hypertext/Web docuverse) is central to good accessibility; and that to achieve this we require additional mobility semantics within systems and information as a way of enhancing the user experience. By adding small amounts of information to existing Web pages (semi-) automatically, we can show significant improvements in the amount of information profoundly blind users are able to access in a given time; in effect 'levelling the playing field' with sighted users. This paper discusses our work and demonstrates how we can make such a claim.

“…That is, a user has to leave the main paragraph of text to see the related information in a separate pane. This may impact negatively on the reader's experience, as indicated in [9]. Also, it only presents information for a limited number of terms and as such may not accurately reflect the complete interest of the user.…”

“…Less experienced users are often reluctant to navigate through hyperlinks as they worry about "getting lost" [8] and overlooking the original task. Also, this navigation away from the article presents an interruption in the flow of reading [9], resulting in a negative experience for the reader. Finally, using hyperlinks in this way presents the same information to all users.…”

With the expansion of the internet, many specialized, high-profile sites have become available that bring very technical subject matter to readers with non-technical backgrounds. While the theme of these sites may be of interest to these readers, the posts themselves may contain terms that non-experts may be unfamiliar with and may wish to know more about. We developed PLEDS, a personalized entity detection system which identifies interesting entities and provides related information for individual users by mining web logs and query logs. The experimental results of a systemic user study shows that with PLEDS's aid, users can experience the benefits of an enriched internet surfing experience.

Experiments toward reverse linking on the web

Multi-headed reverse linking (incoming links) is a fundamental concept of Open Hypermedia Systems. However, this bi-directionality has been lost in the move to the World Wide Web (Web). Here, we suggest a Web based solution for rediscovering these reverse links, and develop a series of experiments to demonstrate our approach. Simply our algorithm involves parsing a Web server's log file, identifying each Web page viewed and saving an ordered list of referrers within a 'name-matched' XML file. This file is then used as a link point within a standard XHTML Web-page using a freely available Javascript library. While we have not performed any comprehensive user evaluation initial qualitative results suggest users are positive regarding our additions and that widespread adoption would increase user satisfaction due to constancy of the browsing experience.
