Abstract:
To provide a meta-data based browsing for maintaining a context for a browsing process.
A plurality of grouping hierarchies (207, 217) are provided, each comprising a sort order and zero or more grouping levels (204-206, 214-216) forming groups with which the items are associable. At least one grouping hierarchy comprises a sort order and at least one grouping level. One item in the collection is set to be a focus item (208, 218) thereby establishing a current focus group of a current grouping hierarchy. The focus item is then maintained upon selection of a new grouping hierarchy from one of the plurality.
