ABSTRACT
This workshop will emphasize small group discussion and brainstorming to explore issues of visualization for heterogeneous digital libraries. The power of visualization lies in its ability to convey information at the high bandwidth of the human perceptual system, facilitating recognition of patterns in the information space, and supporting navigation in large collections. How do we extend these benefits to collections that span the range of digital media? Participants will explore this issue, with the aim of identifying a research agenda.

Visual exploration of large collections in digital libraries
CLIHC '03: Proceedings of the Latin American conference on Human-computer interactionThough conceptually very powerful, Visual Information Seeking (VIS) has been demonstrated with only relatively small collections of a few thousand items, which makes it possible to keep entire collections in main memory and perform recalculations and ...
Digital Libraries and Information Retrieval
ESSIR '00: Proceedings of the Third European Summer-School on Lectures on Information Retrieval-Revised LecturesThe main objective of any Digital Library (DL) is to fulfil the needs of its users. A primary necessity is to make digital objects accessible using a computer network. A crucial part for Digital Libraries is that its information is managed, persistent ...
