Applying database visualization to the World Wide Web
Masum Z. Hasan, Alberto O. Mendelzon, Dimitra Vista · ACM SIGMOD Record · 1996
In this paper, we present visualizations of parts of the network of documents comprising the World Wide Web. We describe how we are using the Hy + visualization system to visualize the portion of the World Wide Web explored during a browsing session. As the user browses, the web browser communicates the URL and title of each document fetched as well as all the anchors contained in the document. Hy + displays graphically the history of the navigation and multiple views of the structure of that portion of the web.
