1 Internet Navigation

Navigation facilitates desired access.

Internet navigation mainly consists of hyperlink filtration.

2 User Context Filtration

The internet user possesses a memory that provides context for their actions and intentions. The user inputs search parameters according to their relevance to the user.

Ex. Cute Bunnies, Latest News, Weather Forecast

2 Parametric Search Filtration

Navigation websites filter internet hyperlinks according to the relationship between search parameters and website information.

Cute Bunnies!

1 Websites

A website is a pile of webpages, analogous to a book being a pile of papers.

Any list of associated webpages such as

http://opensourceecology.org/

http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Main_Page

can be called a website.

2 Web Address

A web address is a piece of information that distinguishes webpages from one another, hence providing webpage identity.

Sometimes, the information within the web address is different from the information within the webpage.

Ex. A website with .../video should contain a video.

Because internet navigation websites analyze the information within webpages instead of just the web address, the confusion risk is small. Nonetheless, any confusion risk should be avoided where possible.

Web addresses are often organized using forward slashes. Generally, each slash represents another level of category. Accessing webpages by manually editing web addresses is slow; hyperlinks provide a easier method of webpage access.
