Abstract :
Full-featured visual interfaces that assist in performing the tasks of information retrieval are widely distributed. The proliferation of sources of information on the Internet and the fact that these resources are large and poorly structured led us to propose that adapting some of the tools that have already been developed for browsing and organizing information spaces might be worthwhile
