Abstract
Since Web pages contain multimedia information, navigation on the Web should be based on multiple media, rather than textual data alone. Through content-oriented integration by associating media contents with their semantics, we can support more flexible navigation styles using combinations of media characteristics and textual semantic meanings. We have developed a hypermedia system that provides content-oriented integration at the granularity of both Web documents and the objects contained in the Web documents. With this system, users can precisely and flexibly specify semantics and/or visual attributes of their specific interested Web document contents. The system then creates dynamic links for the users to navigate the matching Web pages. This paper presents a content-oriented integration environment for multimedia Web documents and their navigation mechanisms. Real examples of navigations on the Web are used to illustrate the operational flows in the system. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
