ABSTRACT

This presentation proposes using a Component Approach to model navigation in a hypertext application. It proposes Navigational Semantic Units (NSUs), which are component-oriented units that describe some meaning of navigation from the user's perspective. The NSUs are an abstraction of a navigational model and are the basis for a methodology to design hypermedia applications based on the Model View Controller Architecture. The presentation will consist of an introduction to the Jakarta Struts project, using the Struts tools to build navigational components, and defining components based on NSUs.
