Site navigation and site navigation data source
First Claim
1. A process for hierarchically organizing bodies of information comprising:
- receiving a query from a user;
abstracting a summary from one or more bodies of the bodies of information selected based on the query;
organizing the summary according to an hierarchy of nodes referenced in the one or more bodies of information; and
providing information configured to facilitate displaying a graphical user interface illustrating the hierarchy and having user controls for accession of nodes in the hierarchy.

Abstract
A concept for providing hierarchical navigation information relative to one or more databases within a distributed computer system is described. In one aspect, this includes a process for hierarchically organizing bodies of information that includes: receiving a query from a user, abstracting a list of descriptors from one or more sources of information selected based on the query, organizing the list according to an hierarchy of nodes referenced in the one or more sources of information and providing information configured to facilitate displaying a graphical user interface illustrating the hierarchy and having user programmable server control classes for accession of nodes in the hierarchy.

10. Computer readable code embodied on a computer readable medium that is configured to cause one or more processors to construct and provide navigational controls for a user of a distributed computer system, wherein the code is configured to cause the one or more processors to:
-
instantiate an hierarchical site map as a user interface, wherein the site map provides data abstractions conditioned for human intelligibility and references associated computer-intelligible data;
receive user input via the user interface; and
respond to the user input by providing content as indicated by the user via the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
