This paper will describe ongoing efforts to ease the information retrieval process on metadata, using a SuperTable/Scatterplot framework recently named VisMeB (Visual Metadata Browser). Based on the combination of a SuperTable (in two design variants) and a Scatterplot (also in two design variants), users can follow different search strategies to achieve results. Usability testing has showen, that an integration of our proposed visualizations supports most user's search style.
