The design and construction of navigation menus for websites have traditionally been performed manually according to the intuition of a web developer. This paper introduces a new approach,
FcAWN
(pronounced “fawn”) –
F
ormal concept
A
nalysis for
W
eb
N
avigation – to assist in the design and generation of a coherent and logical navigation hierarchy for a set of web documents. We provide an algorithmic process for generating multi-layered menu models using
FcAWN
and demonstrate its feasibility with an experimental case study. Our study reveals a fundamental difference between the traditional tree-based menu structure and the lattice-based menu structure by
FcAWN
: a
FcAWN
-generated lattice structure is more general than a tree structure and yet is mathematically sound and uniquely suited for menu design and construction.
FcAWN
is the first mathematical principle for menu
design and generation
, providing a practical basis for human-computer interaction.
