Interactive visual exploration for knowledge discovery on the Web

Presents a conceptual structure for the organization and representation of textual and visual information on the World Wide Web. A generic conceptual structure is proposed which contributes to new forms of visual navigation and interactivity within large collections of textual and visual data. This can assist in the exploration, discovery and extraction of relevant information. An application of the approach is illustrated in the domain of design which is characterized by large amounts of unstructured and poorly organized information of project descriptions.
