I've recently come across Webbrain at http://www.webbrain.com/ This provides a 3D visualisation of search categories (it provides a front end to the DMoz open source directory). In the light of recent discussions about the need for visualisation in certain areas and for certain categories of users, I wondered how this fitted in. The Windows (or Mac) desktop is another example of a graphical metaphor. A colleague of mine came across these other visualisation products -- the demos are site-specific rather than web-wide. from Inxight: http://www.inxight.com/products_wb/table_lens_web/tl_web_demos.html Table Lens http://www.inxight.com/products_wb/ht_server/ht_server_demos.html Hyperbolic Tree (also see their own site map) from Plumb Design: http://www.plumbdesign.com/projects/thinkmap.html about Thinkmap http://millennium.sonymusic.com/ example on Sony site (clues: the expand "button" in the lower right corner is a toggle, the horizonal text line that builds up to the left of it allows you to return to places you have been) http://www.plumbdesign.com/thesaurus/ kind of fun to play with Any thoughts on these types of services? ta brian -------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Kelly UKOLN University of Bath BATH BA2 7AY Email: B.Kelly@ukoln.ac.uk Phone: (+44) 1225 323943
