Abstract

Conventional hierarchical organizations are inadequate in managing multi-dimensional artifacts such as publications. Numerous researches attempted at a more usable high dimensional information visualization and browsing experience, but have failed at the curse of dimensionality, exhibiting one or more of the following symptoms: 1. interface is unfamiliar, non-intuitive or cluttered, 2. dimensions viewable are limited or require to be in numeric domain, 3. update and/or browsing requires exponential time. This paper proposes a hypercube artifact space model and an interactive browsing methodology, multi-dimension browse, which offers: 1. a familiar, intuitive and simple interface with summarization results, 2. browse against any and all dimensions, 3. update and browse costs linear in number of dimensions and artifacts respectively, and browse costs can be further reduced logarithmically on parallel platforms.
