Abstract
This short paper reflects recent concerns with the models on which we base navigation mechanisms for information spaces. As we are daily presented with new sources of online information in a variety of areas, and as these are increasingly interconnected into a large web of electronic information, it becomes necessary to investigate the means by which these information sources are structured. Architects have long understood the relationship between the structure of space and the interactions it can support, and much the same holds true of information structures.
