The architecture of information: interpretation and presentation of information in dynamic environments
Louis Weitzman · 1995
Design of information presentation is undergoing significant changes. Documents are information interfaces that must dynamically reconfigure themselves based on their content, the medium in which they are displayed, and the intended use of the information they present. Increases in computational power and the increased bandwidth of interconnected networks provide greater access to information. These factors, combined with the realization that not all of this information can now be pre-designed, necessitate new tools and techniques to ensure the effective presentation of computer-based information. This dissertation exploits the structure of information to support the design of dynamic documents. From this structure, visual languages
