A visual tool for information retrieval & management
Anselm Spoerri · 1994
This demonstration introduces the InfoCrystalm that can be used both as a visualization tool and a visual query language to help users search for information. The InfoCrystal visualizes all the possible binary as well as continuous relationships among N concepts. Users can assign relevance weights to the concepts and set a threshold to select relationships of interest. The InfoCrystal allows users to specify Boolean as well as vector-space queries graphically. Arbitrarily complex queries can be created by using the InfoCrystals as building blocks and organizing them in a hierarchical structure. The InfoCrystal enables users to explore and filter information in a flexible, dynamic and interactive way.
