View composition for digital libraries
Abstract
We propose a novel visual interface for digital libraries, which employs a collection of views and a compositional mechanism of views. While the views capture and visualize specific aspects of digital libraries, their compositions can be utilized to give deeper and richer insights into a set of retrieved data. Two types of compositions-superimposition and neighboring-of views are introduced. Some mathematical properties and functions associated with view composition are also described.
