Benoit, G. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2002
Describes an information retrieval, visualization, and manipulation model which offers the user multiple ways to exploit the retrieval set, based on weighted query terms, via an interactive interface. Outlines the mathematical model and describes an information retrieval application built on the model to search structured and full-text files.…

Mothe, Josiane; Chrisment, Claude; Dousset, Bernard; Alaux, Joel – Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2003
Describes a user interface that provides global visualizations of large document sets to help users formulate the query that corresponds to their information needs. Highlights include concept hierarchies that users can browse to specify and refine information needs; knowledge discovery in databases and texts; and multidimensional modeling.…

Morse, Emile; Lewis, Michael; Olsen, Kai A. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2002
Discussion of visual information retrieval systems focuses on an approach for testing novel interfaces that uses bottom-up, stepwise testing to allow evaluation of a visualization itself, rather than restricting evaluation to the system instantiating it. Presents a case study of undergraduates that compares a new visualization technique to more…
