This paper introduces an adaptive method for hypermedia navigation.
It is intended to support information providers, giving their users a better
navigation. It adapts the navigation to the user based on his or her
characteristics and behavior. The adaptation is conducted using rules
defined by the information provider. This means the navigation is more
precise than any other adaptive hypermedia system. It is achieved by making
links visible or invisible dynamically. We also propose a data design
support tool that supports the information provider to construct hypermedia
data. We designed a prototype and conducted some experiments for
evaluation.
