Information Navigators

Following are the information navigators intended to help user search, navigate and extract information from sources in structured graphical way. Some of them are web based, some of them graphical.

The Flamenco Search Interface Project

The Flamenco search interface framework has the primary design goal of allowing users to move through large information spaces in a flexible manner without feeling lost. A key property of the interface is the explicit exposure of category metadata, to guide the user toward possible choices, and to organize the results of keyword searches. The interface uses hierarchical faceted metadata in a manner that allows users to both refine and expand the current query, while maintaining a consistent representation of the collection's structure. This use of metadata is integrated with free-text search, allowing the user to follow links, then add search terms, then follow more links, without interrupting the interaction flow.

FLAMENCO stands for FLexible
information Access using MEtadata in Novel COmbinations.

Brain EKP (Enterprize Knowledge Platform)

Introducing the first-ever Enterprise Knowledge Platform, BrainEKP?, an easy-to-use system for organizing and sharing information. BrainEKP connects your people, processes, and information in a single interface so you can see and share your thinking.

Thinkmap

Thinkmap is designed to improve the ability of users to browse through complex information. It allows for interactive, dynamic filtering and the display of structured information without overwhelming the user or undermining the depth of the information resource.

In the Information Economy, the pressure to process information and highlight the significance of its meaning in an overall market or business context has never been more critical. We are inundated with increasing volumes of data through more and more channels, especially since the explosion of the Internet, emerging wireless and other digital technologies.

Fractal Maps were conceived and developed in response to the increasingly urgent need for better ways of visually analyzing, navigating and managing data typically held in databases but also higher-level hierarchies such as networks, intranets, information services and other corporate applications.
