The Big Picture(sm):
Visual Browsing in Web and non-Web Databases
For further development of The Big Picture(sm) clearinghouse, I am interested in learning of
other 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
- Hyperbolic Trees
- Landscapes
- Perspective Walls
- Rooms
- Sphere Visualization
I am aware of such projects and systems as:
- Amaze
- BEAD
- BED
- Convectis
- Coordi-B-Tree©
- CyberPilot(tm) Pro
- DataDSpace
- Document Explorer
- ET-Space
- FISH
- FSH
- fswiz
- GODOT
- HyperProf
- HyperSpace
- HyperVisVR
- HypeWave/Hyper-G
- INFO-TV
- Information Cube
- Information Visualizer
- IRIS
- Knowledge Browser
- LyberWorld
- MineSet
- MOO
- Navigational View Builder
- Semio
- SpitFire/IVEE
- VIBE
- Vineta
- VizNet
- VR-Vibe
- VRMosaic
- VRServer
- W3D
- Web Squirrel
- WebBook
- WebOOGL
- WEBSOM
- WebSpace Navigator
- WebTheme
- WebViz
- WebXpresso
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 other recommendations, suggestions, reactions, contacts, or leads
will be very much appreciated.
As sites and projects are identified and reviewed they will be profiled at the following URL:
