'Subjunctive Interface' Support for Combining Context-Dependent Semi-Structured Ressources
نویسنده
چکیده
Many new kinds of tool are being developed to take advantage of the increasing use of XML for expressing semi-structured information. One category of support is the provision of interactive tools that let people request and control the merging of disparate resources. However, these tools typically assume that the users have a clear idea of exactly how they wish to combine the resources, and that the resources in question can be joined unambiguously as requested. This paper introduces an approach to supporting integration in cases in which these conditions might not hold, for example because the resources contain alternative values intended to suit various different contexts of use.

Choice and Comparaison Where the User Wants Them: Subjunctive Interfaces for Computer-supported Exploration
There are many kinds of computer system that are intended to support users in performing an exploration among a range of possible results. However, such tools often allow only narrow progress through the result space, forcing users to trade off the breadth of search they would like to pursue against the time and effort required. The aim of the ‘subjunctive interface’ concept is to make broader ...
متن کاملSearch, Comparison and Evaluation in Exploratory E-Learning with Subjunctive Interfaces
E-learning deals with knowledge management, for sure, and knowledge management very frequently results in learning. So far, there is an obviously close relationship between the two disciplines. However, deeper insights do not arise easily. Here we investigate how one approach to enhancing information-access interfaces may inspire an improvement in knowledge management for e-learning. Subjunctiv...
متن کاملTowards Merging Plat and PGIP
The PGIP protocol is a standard, abstract interface protocol to connect theorem provers with user interfaces. Interaction in PGIP is based on ASCII-text input and a single focus point-ofcontrol, which indicates a linear position in the input that has been checked thus far. This fits many interactive theorem provers whose interaction model stems from command-line interpreters. PlatΩ, on the othe...
متن کاملBenefits of Subjunctive Interface Support for Exploratory Access to Online Resources
When exploring online resources, users often make many separate retrievals – specifying in turn various parameter values to make up a request, and examining the corresponding results. Any interface that supports only one retrieval at a time, i.e., one set of parameter values and the corresponding results, places a heavy burden on a user who wants to compare available results, or simply to try a...
متن کاملCombination of Adaptive-Grid Embedding and Redistribution Methods on Semi Structured Grids for two-dimensional invisid flows
Among the adaptive-grid methods, redistribution and embedding techniques have been the focus of more attention by researchers. Simultaneous or combined adaptive techniques have also been used. This paper describes a combination of adaptive-grid embedding and redistribution methods on semi-structured grids for two-dimensional invisid flows. Since the grid is semi-structured, it is possible to us...
