Abstract
In order to realize the potential of the World Wide Web (WWW) to supply information it will be necessary to significantly increase the effectiveness of existing search and retrieval mechanisms. One promising approach is visualization, which has been used successfully in an wide range of domains to provide insight into the organization of complex systems, The Document Explorer system creates a visual browsing environment for WWW documents based on semantic content, rather than on link structure such as used in other WWW browsing and visualization tools. Existing WWW indexing and content extraction tools are used together with new techniques for graph based abstraction and clustering to present dynamic, visualization of content based three dimensional space.
