In OOHDM and other design methodologies, the navigational model specifies in an abstract way, the application’s navigation topology, i.e. the node types and their contents, and the links and other navigation structures (such as indexes) which connect nodes.

Abstract
Building Mobile Hypermedia and Web Applications is hard because of the myriad of concerns that must be faced, such as those related to the specific application domain, and those typical of mobile software. During recent years, the authors have been researching modelling techniques for mobile hypermedia, and building infrastructure support for this and other kinds of mobile and context aware software. In this chapter, the authors review the modelling features, design mechanisms, and architectural support they have developed to simplify the development process, and to obtain more flexible models and applications.
