Open dataset of human navigation strategies in foreign networked systems

Navigation within and across different types of information is an underlying process in performing many everyday tasks. Although human navigation is a natural part of life, the exploration of the underlying mechanisms is far from trivial. A structured scientific dataset has been offered by the computer scientist András Gulyás and his research team to investigate human navigation in foreign complex systems. “We have been doing research in navigability of complex networks, both technological and natural ones,” says Dr. Gulyás, senior research fellow at Budapest University of Technology and Economics and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, “and we felt we would need a smart database collecting analyzable data on human navigation.”
