Sachtitel: Three-dimensional information visualisation:; the harmony information landscape

Abstract
The Harmony Information Landscape is a three-dimensional graphical interface for browsing hypermedia information on a Hyper-G server. It automatically generates a navigable spatial layout that visualises documents on the server, their attributes, hierarchy and hyperlink relationships between them. In the course of this thesis various new features have been added to a first, basic version of the Landscape. This thesis first describes the Landscape's underlying data model defined by Hyper-G, and compares it to other Internet information systems. Then various aspects of spatial information visualisation are discussed. The Landscape's new features and details of their implementation in C++ under the UNIX operating system are introduced. Finally, a user's guide provides a brief overview of the current user interface.
