Abstract
With the explosive growth of information that is available on the World-Wide Web, it is very easy for the user to get lost in hyperspace. When the user feels lost, some idea of the position of the current node in the overall information space will help to orient the user. Therefore we have de- veloped a technique to form focus+context views of World- Wide Web nodes. The view shows the immediate neighbor- hood of the current node and its position with respect to the important (landmark) nodes in the information space. The views have been used to enhance a Web search engine. We have also used the landmark nodes and the focus+ context views in forming overview diagrams of Web sites.Keywords
