Abstract

World Wide Web visualisation systems are widely used for browsing or viewing search engine results. In the case of a local Web search tool, however, the browsing paradigm is combined with a searching paradigm, thus requiring dynamic visualisation methods. We describe an example of a visualisation system that is an extension of a common JavaScript script that is used as a Web site map. It is interfaced with a Java-based local search tool named VSEARCH. Our system provides an easy-to-integrate mechanism to implement information visualisation techniques like node colouring
