Seeing the text through the trees: visualization and interactivity in text applications.

In this paper, we discuss two interactive text visualization systems and then discuss the rhetorical effects of interactivity. The first model is SIMWeb, a data visualization system with connections to TACTweb for full-text searching. SIMWeb provides a graphical representation of the results of stat...

      ab: In this paper, we discuss two interactive text visualization systems and then discuss the rhetorical effects of interactivity. The first model is SIMWeb, a data visualization system with connections to TACTweb for full-text searching. SIMWeb provides a graphical representation of the results of statistical processes that can be used to explore a text. The second model, Eye-ConTact, is a prototype for a process visualization environment for research applications in the study of electronic texts. The paper then discusses the effects of visualization, with particular attention to the contribution of interactivity to the process of textual research. We argue that this allows for pragmatic experimentation with processes and information, and conclude by discussing some of the dangers of interactive visualization systems.
