Abstract
The enhancement of the individual knowledge is a basic need that came up with changes in our society, whereas the process of learning disappears more and more. In the recent past the disappearance of a predefined learning process was named ambient learning, which came up to cope the changing need of every time and everywhere learning. Learning contents get more structure by new technologies like semantics, which specifies and defines more the semantic structure and with it the meaning of information. Users working with information system are confronted with different processes for getting the required information. The following paper introduces a new visualization technique, which uses the everyday processes of information search for imparting knowledge. The visualization technique utilizes the surplus of semantics to encourage the process of ambient learning.
