Abstract

With a growing number of Web documents, the question of information availability and discovery is still open, even considering the rising power of search engines. One of promising methods permitting Internet users to find desired information is creation of visualization interfaces that enable an overview of the entire search result enabling fast identification of appropriate documents. In this chapter, we present a novel method, called AVE—Adaptive Visualization Environment that supports users in document retrieval process through search result visualization in a dynamically selected and parameterized interface which best corresponds to properties of the search result. The interface is selected automatically based on applied readability prerequisites. In this chapter, a prototype Periscope system implementing the AVE method is also presented.
