ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a visualization scheme for large-scale collections of documents organized hierarchically. The scheme provides a concise and customizable view of OAI-PMH records. We assume that records are classified with a hierarchical algorithm or taxonomy. As a way of illustration, we chose the 1998 ACM Computing Classification System. A two-dimensional interface maps record attributes to visual elements: X- and Y-axes. Color, size, place and shape in the interface have a predefined intention. The scheme implementation is based of SVG charts. Users can explore data, metadata and to know the relationships between the records derived from the classification scheme. A collection of documents of the Universidad Politécnica de Puebla (UPPuebla) is used as a test bed for the proposed scheme. The paper reports preliminary results of out prototype version.

Multi-level visualization of interrelated data entities
AVI '14: Proceedings of the 2014 International Working Conference on Advanced Visual InterfacesNowadays, electronic devices are part of our daily routines, resulting in information generation at virtually any time and context. Due to different styles of interaction, data produced by human activities is not only in considerable quantities, but it ...
Interactive visualization for opportunistic exploration of large document collections
Finding relevant information in a large and comprehensive collection of cross-referenced documents like Wikipedia usually requires a quite accurate idea where to look for the pieces of data being sought. A user might not yet have enough domain-specific ...
Polyarchy visualization: visualizing multiple intersecting hierarchies
CHI '02: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe describe a new information structure composed of multiple intersecting hierarchies, which we call Polyarchies. Visualizing polyarchies enables use of novel views for discovery of relationships which are very difficult using existing hierarchy ...
