More Information
Summary:1. Field of the Invention Information nodes are dynamically organized and information related to each node is displayed in dependence upon a user's indicated reference node. The information related to the reference node is displayed prominently, and information items related to the other nodes are displayed with a prominence that reflects each node's degree of separation from the user selected reference node. Both size and position are used to indicate prominence. To present a consistent interface regardless of the user's point of reference, recursive techniques, such as fractal based algorithms, are used in a preferred embodiment.
