OH is an information management technique of sorts (based on browsing rather than searching, granted), but it also requires a degree of adaptation due to the need to filter the generated links that I mentioned in my use case. As an aside, OH could also be considered as a technique for visualising an ontology (in the context of a collection of documents), as well as a technique for imposing navigable structures over such collections. -- Nick Gibbins nmg@ecs.soton.ac.uk IAM (Intelligence, Agents, Multimedia) tel: +44 (0) 23 80592831 Electronics and Computer Science fax: +44 (0) 23 80592865 University of Southampton
