Abstract

In this paper, we present a hyperdocument model taking into account the essential aspects of information on the Web: content, composition (logical structure) and non-linear reading (hypertext structure). We have developed a Structured Information Retrieval System (SIRS) based on this model. Its phases of indexing and querying are based on a ldquoreading pathsrdquo point of view of the Web: a Web site is considered as a set of potential reading paths, instead of a set of atomic and flat pages. We have developed an specific algorithm to index the reading paths. We present some experiments aiming at evaluating the interest of our indexing process of reading paths.
