Abstract
A web site is broken up into main topical content areas. Each area shows a list of content items that the user can link to, displayed using views. A site map and table of contents read these views to determine what the user should see. The site map is a high level category oriented view, and the table of contents is a more detailed view, getting lower level to content items. Each time the users requests the site map or table of contents, an agent is executed to “lookup” into the content views, giving the user the very latest content.
