Description
-
Topic maps - the new ISO standard ISO-IEC
13250 - provide a bridge between the domains of
knowledge representation and information management.
Topics and topic associations build a structured
semantic link network above information resources. Our
research aims at visualizing this semantic layer
efficiently, which is a critical issue as topic maps may
contain millions of topics and associations. This paper
is divided into 3 parts. First, we depict briefly basic
topic maps concepts. Then, we review a few graph
visualization techniques. Finally, we describe the
visualization tool we developed at the Laboratoire
d'Informatique de Paris 6 and study how this tool
may be used - and enhanced - for topic maps visualization.
