USER NAVIGATION IN A TARGET PORTAL

摘要

User navigation in a target portal with at least two portal pages. At least one query is created that includes uniform resource locators (URLs) of selected portal pages as search terms in a first search level; repeating until a certain abort criterion is reached: Receiving and analyzing search results of the at least one query including external websites containing search terms as part of their content; selecting a set of uniform resource locators from the received search results; creating a node in a graph-like-model for each selected URL if not already contained in the graph-like-model and associating the node with the selected uniform resource locator; creating and issuing a further search query including selected uniform resource locators of external websites in an additional search level; and in case the certain abort criterion is reached, performing a number of actions.

1. A method of user navigation in a target portal with at least two portal pages, said method comprising:
creating at least one query including at least one of uniform resource locators of selected portal pages or content of selected portal pages as search terms in a first search level; repeating until a certain abort criterion is reached:
receiving and analyzing search results of said at least one query including external websites containing search terms as part of their content;selecting a set of uniform resource locators from said received search results;creating a node in a graph-like-model for each uniform resource locator of said selected set of uniform resource locators, based on the node not already being contained in said graph-like-model and associating said node with said uniform resource locator;creating and issuing a further search query including selected uniform resource locators of external websites in an additional search level; based on reaching said certain abort criterion performing:
computing said graph-like-model containing nodes and edges representing direct or indirect references between said external websites and portal pages of said target portal based on said created nodes;defining a threshold value for a maximum distance for pairs of portal pages in said graph-like-model;calculating distances in said graph-like-model for said pairs of portal pages of said target portal;comparing said calculated distances for said pairs of portal pages with said defined threshold value;creating an additional navigation path for pairs of portal pages whose distance is smaller than said threshold value; anddisplaying said additional navigation path in said target portal.
