Topic Map Visualization
Book Chapter, was published by Bénédicte Le Grand at 2002-07-01
Topic maps provide a bridge between the domains of knowledge represenation and information management. Topics ans associations build a networked information overlay above information resources that allows users to navigate at a higher level of abstraction. However, this information overlay may contain millions of topics and associations, and users may still have problems finding relevant information. Therefore, the issue of topic map visualization and navigation is essential.
In this chapter we first discuss topic map visualization requirements. Then we explore existing visualization techniques and study whether (and how) they can be applied to topic map representation.
