Abstract
This paper presents an approach to browse collections of web
pages about music artists by means of descriptive terms and multimedia
content. To this end, a user interface called Three-Dimensional Co-
Occurrence Browser (3D-COB) is introduced. 3D-COB automatically
extracts and weights terms from artist-related web pages. This textual
information is complemented with information on the multimedia content
found on the web pages. For the user interface of 3D-COB, we
elaborated a three-dimensional extension of the Sunburst visualization
technique. The hierarchical data to be visualized is obtained by analyzing
the web pages for combinations of co-occurring terms that are highly
ranked by a term weighting function.
As for evaluation, we investigated different term weighting strategies in a
first user study. A second user study was carried out to assess ergonomic
aspects of 3D-COB, especially its usefulness for gaining a quick overview
of a set of web pages and for efficiently browsing within this set.
