Abstract

The identification and analysis of an enterprise's knowledge available in a documented form is a key element of knowledge management. Visual methods which allow easy access to a document collection's contents are an enabling technology. However, no single information retrieval technique is likely to adequately deal with such tasks independent of the specific situation. In this paper, we therefore present a visualization technique based on a modular approach that allows a variety of techniques from semantic document analysis to be used in the visualization of the structure of technical document collections.
