Figure 3: Intradocument View show<strong>in</strong>g both Mural and TileBar; L<strong>in</strong>k Preview<br />

The Mural is placed to the far left of the scroll bar of the document display w<strong>in</strong>dow. It represents a m<strong>in</strong>iaturized<br />

view of the entire document. The Mural panel represents the full document. The portion of the panel co-extensive<br />

with the scroll bar thumb represents the portion of the document visible <strong>in</strong> the display w<strong>in</strong>dow. Each of the<br />

color-coded rectangles <strong>in</strong> the Mural <strong>in</strong>dicates the location and type of a l<strong>in</strong>k <strong>in</strong> the document. Us<strong>in</strong>g the Mural,<br />

the user can immediately see all the l<strong>in</strong>ks <strong>in</strong> the document and move to any part of the document that he/she<br />

f<strong>in</strong>ds <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g. The Mural may also depict other structural features of a document such as structural copymarks<br />

or version<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><strong>format</strong>ion.<br />

TileBar<br />

The panel between the Mural and the scroll bar <strong>in</strong> Figure 3 is a TileBar. It uses the same conventions as the<br />

Mural <strong>in</strong> that it represents the entire document and the portion co-extensive with the scroll bar thumb represents<br />

the visible portion of the document. The TileBar is sectioned based on a semantic analysis of the document. The<br />

user then selects one, two or three groups of terms and the density of occurrences <strong>in</strong> each section is shown -white<br />

<strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g the absence of the term and black <strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g a high occurrence. The figure shows that Term set 1<br />

occurs most frequently <strong>in</strong> the first third of the document while the terms <strong>in</strong> the third set start to be found<br />

frequently <strong>in</strong> the section of the document currently be<strong>in</strong>g viewed.<br />

Preview<br />

Figure 4: L<strong>in</strong>k Preview<br />

Many research projects have used some k<strong>in</strong>d of lens or l<strong>in</strong>k preview to provide additional <strong>in</strong><strong>format</strong>ion about a<br />

l<strong>in</strong>k before it is traversed. One of our systems, [Olsen et al. 1993] provided a lens with user-selectable contents.<br />

Preview represents the relationship between the current document and a l<strong>in</strong>ked document by show<strong>in</strong>g metadata<br />

about the l<strong>in</strong>ked document with<strong>in</strong> the document currently be<strong>in</strong>g viewed. The Preview has two types of views.<br />

One is an explicit view which displays only abstract ideas about the l<strong>in</strong>ked document such as title, author, or<br />

status. This view is shown <strong>in</strong> Figure 3 as the colored buttons <strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g the location of hypertext l<strong>in</strong>ks. From this<br />

view the reader can know who the author of the comment is (label <strong>in</strong><strong>format</strong>ion) as well as the comment type
