Three dimensional data architecture in a multimedia database on cardiac arrhythmia

The authors discuss three-dimensional text, the architecture developed to organize a large amount of information in a hypertext system so that it is easily accessible by a diverse group. Information is divided into topics, sections, and level of detail; this organization can be represented as a three-dimensional knowledge space. This methodology has been applied to the Entropy Multimedia Database on cardiac arrhythmias. Three-dimensional text can be applied to many large information systems, resulting in improved organization and ease of navigation
