Study on View-Oriented Navigation Modeling of Web Applications

Abstract

This paper presents view-oriented navigation modeling (VONM), a system analysis method and tool for web applications. Firstly, the view was discussed as a navigation node. The view is dynamic and hierarchical. The dynamic characteristic means that a view may render varied objects and state data of an object is changeable. The hierarchy of the view refers to the feature that a more abstract view may be refined to produce several more concrete views. Then, the paper analyzed the classification and the features of navigation. Non-action navigation is the navigation in the traditional sense. Action navigation is also navigation, but its primary purpose is to perform a specific data processing. In this work, the model is made up of view diagrams, navigation diagrams and specification cards for view or navigation. Finally, the paper introduced some navigation implement patterns for the action navigation.
