- Abstract
- The very nature of traditional interfaces to databases tend to hide their information content and makes it very difficult for a user to build a conceptual model of their contents. Traditional libraries, however, are designed to make their contents and their arrangements clearly visible and capable of browsing. Describes a small demonstration system aimed at making the contents of an OPAC capable of being visualised by users and designed as part of the HYPERCATalog effort
