“…Displaying results as points looks similar to star maps and thus, in some systems the idea of a map has been explicitly used and the clusters are represented as countries or islands. Figure 6 shows a cluster-based result view where clusters are presented as islands (K. Andrews, Gutl, Moser, Sabol, & Lackner, 2001).…”

Bibliografische Information der Deutschen NationalbibliothekDie Deutsche Nationalbibliothek verzeichnet diese Publikation in der Deutschen Nationalbibliografie; detaillierte bibliografische Daten sind im Internet über http://dnb.dnb.de abrufbar. 3 Zahlreich waren die Publikationen, welche die Versprechungen des Hypertexts für die Geistes-, Sozial-und Kulturwissenschaften ausloten wollten. Jakob Krameritsch spricht in diesem Zusammenhang sogar von einem regelrechten "Rausch" (Krameritsch, 2006). George P. Landow bezeichnete das Aufkommen des WWW als "paradigm shift, which marks a revolution in human thought" (Landow, 1997) oder als Erreichen des "land promised (or threatened) by post-modern theory" (Bolter, 1991, S. 204 Thesauri, Taxonomien, Ontologien TaxonomienBei Taxonomien (gr.: τάξις táxis ,Ordnung' und νόμος nómos ,Gesetz') handelt es sich dabei um eine sehr einfache und hierarchische Ordnungsform, die aus der Biologie, genauer aus der Zoologie stammt und von Carl von Linné begründet und 1735 in der ersten Ausgabe von Systema Naturae5 dargestellt wurde. Charakteristisch für diese Darstellungsform, die Linné über ein ausgeklügeltes Zettelsystem bewältigte, ist ihre strenge Klassenhierarchie sowie die Unmöglichkeit, ein Element zwei Klassen gleichzeitig zuzuordnen, womit bereits die semantischen Grenzen des Systems erreicht sind. Diesen steht jedoch die hohe Effizienz gegenüber -nicht umsonst ist Linnés System auch heute noch innerhalb der Biologie gültig und hat in einer Vielzahl von Wissenschaften Verwendung gefunden. Aufgrund ihrer Einfachheit finden Taxonomien immer dann Verwendung, wenn zügig, d.h. im Idealfall in Echtzeit und unter Beachtung allgemeiner Regeln einzelne Elemente bestimmten Mengen zugeordnet werden können. So etwa im Records Management (vgl. Zihlmann sowie Toebak, in diesem Band), also der Übertragung von Geschäftsprozessen auf hierarchisch strukturierte Dossiers. Taxonomien stellen aber auch die Grundlage für komplexere Anwendungen dar, etwa als semantischer Zielraum für die Abwicklung medizinischer Fallpauschalen (vgl. Straub, in diesem Band), wobei die Grenzen der eindeutigen Zuordnung konkret über eine multidimensionale Architektur und deren Darstellung in einem Modell höherer Ordnung überwunden werden.Ein verwandtes, jedoch sehr viel jüngeres und ungleich radikaleres Modell, das weder auf eine besondere Wissensorganisation vertraut noch eine elaborierte Wissensrepräsentation für die primär darzustellenden Daten verlangt, sind die Folksonomies. Damit wird die kollaborative, dezentralisierte und spontane Form

“…These map-style visualisations are based on a spatial metaphor whereby similar documents (or themes) are clustered together and placed physically nearer to each other. They have been used for a range of applications, including providing thematic clustering of search results [1] and document collections [8], helping software developers make sense of large repositories of source code [17], allowing users to explore music libraries where "islands" on the map represent different genres or styles of music [26], and visualising user traffic on the Internet radio station last.fm [22].…”

Abstract. In this paper we describe a novel approach for exploring large document collections using a map-based visualisation. We use hierarchically structured semantic concepts that are attached to the documents to create a visualisation of the semantic space that resembles a Google Map. The approach is novel in that we exploit the hierarchical structure to enable the approach to scale to large document collections and to create a map where the higher levels of spatial abstraction have semantic meaning. An informal evaluation is carried out to gather subjective feedback from users. Overall results are positive with users finding the visualisation enticing and easy to use.

“…In xFind [3], the Visisland interface was developed in addition to t he scatterplot and a list-based representation to display thematic clustering of search results. First, cluster centroids are randomly mapped to t he display, and then documents are located in a ring around the corresponding cluster while documents that are more similar are placed closer to each other.…”

Studies of online search behaviour have found that searchers often face difficulties formulating queries and exploring the search results sets. These shortcomings may be especially problematic in digital libraries since library searchers employ a wide variety of information-seeking methods (with varying degrees of support ), and the corpus to be searched is often more complex than simple textual information. To address these problems, an interactive Web-based library search interface is present ed, which has been designed to support strategic retrieval behaviour of library searchers. T his system takes advantage of the rich metadata associated with academic documents and employs information visualization techniques to provide searchers with additional information-seeking tools. These tools are designed to facil itat e visual and interactive query refinement, search results exploration, and citation navigation. User evaluations illustrate the potential benefits of the design choices in comparison to a list-based digital library search interface. Acknowledgeme ntsFirstly, I would like t o sincerely t hank my supervisor , Dr. Orland Roeb er , for the support and guidance he offered me t hroughout my master 's program . This research would not have been possible without his insight ful advice and patient encouragement.
