abstract |
Many organizations, particularly in the heritage sector, have large archives of digital
content that they could make available to the general public or special interest groups
if they had the appropriate mechanisms. Currently, these organizations can develop
pre-crafted web sites, simple database-driven web sites or search facilities for accessing
the content. However, none of these can be expected to appropriately present this
content or scaffold
its effective use. Our proposed solution is an approach to navigation that we term
spotlight browsing. It has the following key features: (i) Users can select a collection
of resources from the archive, shining a spotlight on this area of the archive; (ii)
The collection is structured in a number of ways to support its exploration and convey
interesting properties of the collection; (iii) Users can see what is on the periphery
of their current collection in order to encourage further exploration; (iv) Users
can redefine the collection in order to move their spotlight to another area of the
archive; (v) Any item viewed while browsing can be bookmarked into a personal collection
that can be built up using resources from many different spotlights. The approach
has been implemented and tested using an archive of content from a heritage institution. |
