Abstract :
The Harmony browser for the Hyper-G Web server utilises Hyper-G´s rich data model to provide a number of tightly-coupled, two- and three-dimensional visualisation and navigational facilities. In particular the Harmony Information Landscape visualises the hierarchical structure of Hyper-G spaces upon a plane in three-dimensional space. The Harmony Information Landscape has now been extended to display a combined structure and link map by selectively superimposing hyperlink relationships in the vertical dimension above and below the hierarchy map. In addition, documents returned by search queries may be selectively “plotted” in the landscape, indicating their whereabouts in a broader context, and several sets of 3D icons are available for representing the various document types
