This demonstration shows a method and implementation to interactively display large hierarchies (up to 10,000 nodes) within a web browser. This software computes a degree of interest (DOI) for each node in the hierarchy and displays an overview of the complete hierarchy while showing more detail for nodes with a higher DOI value.

The thousands of serial images used for medical pedagogy cannot be included in a printed book; they also cannot be efficiently handled by ordinary image viewer software. The purpose of this study was to provide browsing software to grasp serial medical images efficiently. The primary function of the newly programmed software was to select images using 3 types of interfaces: buttons or a horizon...

The current expansion of the Internet makes it one of the most popular places to publish and search for almost any kind of information. In particular, touristic information—not only about tours or information about resources, places, museums, or monuments, but also cultural tourism—has gained much attention in the last years. We propose the use of geographical information systems (GIS) technolo...

Search is seen as a key application that can benefit from semantic technology with improvements to recall and precision over conventional Information Retrieval techniques. This paper describes Squirrel, a search and browse tool that provides access to semantically annotated data. Squirrel provides combined keyword based and semantic searching. The intention is to provide a balance between the s...

Browsing the past Web in an easy, a complete, and consistent way has become an essential need in the recent years. The archived contents are distributed among many systems on different locations, and each one has its own format, protocol, technology for preserving and retrieval. In this research, we propose the “Enhanced Memento Aggregator” framework which is capable of collecting, filtering, r...

The simple network management protocol (SNMP) is a widely used standard for management of devices in Internet protocol networks. Part of the protocol great success is due to its simplicity; all the managed information is kept in a management information base (MIB) that can be accessed using SNMP queries to a software agent. In this paper, we develop a general model that abstract the data retrie...

Companies need to extract pertinent and coherent information from large collections of documents to be competitive and efficient. Structured terminologies are essential for a better drafting, translation or understanding of technical communication. WORLDTREK EDITION is a tool created to help the terminologist elaborate, browse and update structured terminologies in a ergonomic environment witho...

Internet permet aujourd'hui aux professionnels de santé francophones d'accéder à une grande quantité d'informations en français. De nombreux services de documentation en langue française [1–4] recensent et permettent d'accéder à la « littérature grise » francophone (à savoir la production de toutes les instances du gouvernement, de l'enseignement et la recherche publique, du commerce et de l'in...
