The Big Picture(sm):
Visual Browsing in Web and non-Web Databases
For a planned review and clearinghouse, I am interested in learning of
projects, research, products, or services that have applied 'information
visualization' technologies to Web collections or bibliographical databases.
At this time, I am not interested in data visualization or the application of
these technologies to pure text or document collections.
I am interested in the application of the following types of
Information Visualization techniques, or ones similar to these:
Benediktine Space
Cityscapes
Cone Trees and Cam Trees
Fish-eye Views
Landscapes
Perspective Walls
Rooms
Sphere Visualization
I am aware of such systems as:
BEAD
Hyperspace
Information Cube
Information Visualizer
Narcissus
SPIRE
VIBE and VR-VIBE
VizNet
While I am interested in the application of these technologies to Web
collections, I am particularly interested in any efforts that have
applied these to MARC databases of any type, Web or non-Web.
As always, any recommendations, suggestions, reactions, contacts, or
leads will be very much appreciated.
As sites and projects are identified and reviewed they will be profiled
at this site at the following URL:
