LVis - Digital Library Visualizer Investigators: Katy Brner & - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

LVis - Digital Library Visualizer Investigators: Katy Börner & Andrew Dillon, SLIS Margaret Dolinsky, School Of Fine Arts, Indiana University Project Goal: Aid users' navigation and comprehension of large document sets retrieved from Digital Libraries

LVis - Digital Library Visualizer Idea: Present search results not as rank- ordered lists of matching documents but as clusters of semantically similar documents

LVis - Digital Library Visualizer Prototype interfaces: DIDO Image Data Bank, Indiana University & ISI’s Science Citation Index
