Visual query module

The visual query offers a powerful, easy to use basis for querying any class of private or public information space. Each search term is represented by a circle. Boolean expressions are represented by combinations of circles and are simply operated by direct manipulation.

Link-manager module

The link-manager is a time-based module. The link section offers a context space and is a basis for navigating elements linked to the one in focus. The trail section tracks the user's selections and represents the trails resulting from the sequence of selected elements.
