  • Abstract
    We present a novel architecture to map the two-dimensional Internet space in virtual worlds according to predefined or inferred metaphors. Web elements and metaphor elements are both conceptualized as semantic-networks and are compared through an inference engine in order to detect similarities. Once all the web elements have been mapped within a virtual world metaphor, a VR-Builder generates VRML sources according to the virtual representation
