Abstract

Various statistical and pattern recognition techniques, such as concept spaces and category maps in the Illinois Digital Library project, has been explored to solve the semantic interoperability problem in DLI-1. Self-organizing category map is identified as a powerful tool for information summarization. However, visualizing a large-scale self-organizing map in a restricted size of window is difficult. For smaller regions, displaying labels is infeasible. In this paper, two visualization tools, fisheye view and fractal view, are presented. It assists users to visualize a large-scale self-organizing map geographically and semantically.
