Web Development and Design White Papers
Improving Web Information Systems with Navigational Patterns
Overview Web Information Systems (WIS), i.e. information systems that are constructed using Web technology, involve a myriad of problems. Unfortunately, many products targeted to develop WIS tend to ignore hypermedia information design, and its attending navigation operations, by treating it as another user interface operation. For example, in Visual Wave, designers implement Smalltalk applications, and their interfaces contain controls that allow the opening of another window; if this is a result of a navigation operation, it is treated as if they were just designing a conventional transactional application. In this case, the power of navigation is lost, not because of the features of the environment but mainly because designers do not take into account the navigational dimension of their applications. Typically, they just develop the application model with objects and then build the user interface. As we will show in this paper there are many design problems that can only be solved when thinking about navigation as a separate design issue.
