ABSTRACT:
A method of mapping at least a part of one or more web sites having web objects and web links is provided, whereby web objects and links are mapped as nodes and edges, respectively, in one or more web maps, each object being mapped to at least one corresponding node. The method allows a user to re-display selected items in a web map such that the item are distinguished from other items in the web map and are displayed in a clarified form. This enables a web map to be de-cluttered.
