Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the results of a research in the design and development of a “network user interface” application which provides capabilities to locally organise information resulting from searches conducted on a collection of data distributed across a wide area network. A strong requirement which had to be satisfied was to define a model for the user interface characterised by easy and intuitive use-ability in order to provide a system that could be easily used by people not necessarily expert in computing systems.
