Abstract

Domain meta-indexes provide a summary of domain concepts, and a structured vocabulary from which to form queries and organize research. We present a prototype of a Meta-index User Interface (MUI) that provides views of a domain at 3 levels: summarizing and comparing domains, exposing the regularities of a domain's vocabulary, and displaying book information and page content related both to objectively representative books, and to specific user searches.
