Conceptual modeling of Web sites and advanced navigation for end-users

摘要

A conceptual Web site schema that describes what information is available in a Web site and how this information is structured into pages and links is proposed. To allow communicating this information through the Web, an XML/DTD documents for this conceptual Web site schema are developed. The approach creates the effect of having a dynamic, virtual temporary XML browser for advanced navigation in the conceptual model of Web sites trough intuitive, visual language for querying XML data sources. It creates a snapshot of semantic presentation of Web site's content and navigation chunks for a connected user's session through a server side programming.
