Quotations
abstract ;;Quote: for effective view navigation: views must be small, navigation should not require too many steps, and the path to a target must be discoverable
367 ;;Quote: even though the World Wide Web was built on the idea of links, global navigation has been replaced by search engines
368 ;;Quote: the small views requirement: the number of links from a node must be small compared to the total size of the viewing graph
368 ;;Quote: short paths requirement: the number of links between pairs of nodes must be small compared to the size of the viewing graph
369 ;;Quote: a table improves view traversability because the neighborhoods are constant size and the diameter of the graph is the square root of its total size
371 ;;Quote: navigability requirement: a link is well-matched for a target if it is not misleading and if the target has a least one inferred-to link
371 ;;Quote: residue requirement: a link must describe not just the next node, but the whole to-set accessible via the link; difficult to achieve
372 ;;Quote: a hierarchy provides well-matched links with good residue throughout the structure; for example, 'Cat' is part of 'the rest' link from the 'Maple' node
373 ;;Quote: can organize navigable structures by similarity; but all similarity is local without good-residue of things far away
374 ;;Quote: query-initiated browsing -- locally navigate within a neighborhood; allows for localized similarity
