IntrospectiveViews v.2

IntrospectiveViews is an interactive visualization interface to user models. Through this interface users can see what the system "knows" about them and edit that information. These user models can then be used as the basis for adaptation, e.g., for sorting news stories in a news portal. IntrospectiveViews follows Shneiderman's Visual Information Seeking Mantra : "overview first, zoom and filter, then details-on-demand". It offers users an overview over all terms present in their interest models, it allows for zooming into different parts of the model, filtering terms according to different criteria, and it will provide details on demand.
