Exploring the computing literature with visualization and stepping stones & pathways

Abstract

An alternative interpretation of queries involves splitting a query into parts that cover different but connected aspects of the information needed.

Integration of complex archeology digital libraries: An ETANA-DL experience

“…Text mining and visualization techniques provide DLs additional powerful exploring services, with possible beneficial effects on browsing and searching [10]. Our study of the CitiViz system [32], which ARTICLE IN PRESS combines browsing, searching, document clustering, and information visualization, showed its advantages, in user performance and preference, relative to traditional interfaces.…”

“…The visualization service may integrate searching, browsing, and clustering. EtanaViz [10] is an example of such an integrated service. It provides a visual interface to ETANA-DL.…”

“…Text mining and visualization techniques provide DLs additional powerful exploring services, with possible beneficial effects on searching and browsing. Thus, stepping stones & pathway (SSP) integrates visualization, clustering, and Bayesian inference to support exploration and the resolution of complex information needs that can be met by sets of related documents [10]. CitiViz, a visual interface to CITIDEL, combines searching, browsing, clustering, and information visualization [32].…”

EulerView: article organisation within the ACM classification

“…The importation of other classification systems, such as the one developed in [19] which presents a unified classification system for the computing fields of computer science, software engineering and information systems, would broaden the scope of use of EulerView. The extension of the EulerView representation to explicitly incorporate other boolean operators, enabling the display of structured queries is in progress; the use of notions of stepping stones and pathways in [12] which facilitates the breaking up of queries into sub-queries will also be investigated. Another avenue is the integration with Euler diagram generation techniques for small selections of categories; this will facilitate use of diagrammatic components tied in with the EulerView thereby allowing users a choice of format for interactivity.…”

Exploratory Search: A Critical Analysis of the Theoretical Foundations, System Features, and Research Trends

“…A representative example is the CitiViz search interface already mentioned (Fox et al 2006). In addition to an expandable tree list (Fig.…”
