Using page histories for improving browsing the web (original) (raw)

Currently, users generally do not have much temporal support when browsing Web pages. The Web is in fact a transitive collection where little effort is made for enabling access to historical content of pages. However, integrating documents with their histories should bring many benefits such as facilitated judgment of documents' trustworthiness or time travel. In this paper we present several interaction methods that users could have with page histories. We also demonstrate example systems designed for realizing these interaction types and discuss related issues.
