What is the technology behind the Visual Thesaurus?
The Visual Thesaurus uses Thinkmap® software as its visualization engine. Thinkmap gives users the ability to retrieve a result set from large data sets. Through a series of task-specific visualization mechanisms, users can navigate, organize and visualize that result set within graphical user interfaces. In addition to helping users find information, the visualization mechanisms help them understand the composition and structure of the data being examined.
