Abstract
We argue that categorization and visualization of the explored information space (e.g. the web) is desired in order to improve the re-access of information. Traditional browsers support only mechanisms such as bookmarks and/or history lists in order to revisit and to reload documents. This paper presents an innovative tool (CineCat) that uses the client side cache to categorize and visualize the explored web space. CineCat supports filtering techniques based on categories to provide simplified views of the information space.
