Artificial Intelligence Review Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Following a short survey of input data types onwhich to construct interactive visual userinterfaces, we report on a new and recentimplementation taking concept hierarchies asinput data. The visual user interfacesexpress domain ontologies which are based onthese concept hierarchies. We detail aweb-based implementation, and show examples ofusage. An appendix surveys related systems,many of them commercial.
