Browsing
Work (at PARC and elsewhere: Pirolli et al. 1996) has stressed role for browsing as well as searching in information access
It provides a context for learning
We provide browsing in several ways:
- network-based display of words
- conventional hypertext
- but with rich semantically-interpreted links
- their colour-coding matches network edges
Other methods being investigated:
- browsing through semantic domains
- deriving terminology sets (words that are used together in culturally important activities) automatically from text corpora
