Graph-Visualisierung: Walrus, Diverses

• Walrus - Graph Visualization Tool: Walrus is a tool for interactively visualizing large directed graphs in three-dimensional space. By employing a fisheye-like distortion, it provides a display that simultaneously shows local detail and the global context. (lokal von 20040416-06.28: Walrus_-_Graph_Visualization_Tool_-_CAIDA.htm)

Textlisten versus Visualisierung

Navigation in Hyperspace: An Evaluation of the Effects of Navigational Tools and Subject Matter Expertise on Browsing and Informational Retrieval in Hypertext. Sharon McDonald and Rosemary J. Stevenson. From: Interacting With Computers. 10:2, 129-42 (1998)
This study examined the effectiveness of a map and a textual contents list on the navigation performance of subjects with and without prior knowledge of the text topic. The results showed that performance in the map condition was superior to that of the contents list condition, which in turn was superior to that of the hypertext only condition (no navigational aid).
