Abstract

Walden's Paths provides a mechanism for overlaying linear paths over World-Wide Web material. The path structure does not alter the pre-existing structure of the original material, but provides a means for organizing and contextualizing the collection of material. This paper first reviews the design of Walden's Paths and our experience with it. It then presents a new mechanism that enables ephemeral "lightweight" paths, which may be generated by a computer process.
