Interactive timelines as interfaces to information systems

Abstract

Timelines represent a familiar means for representing the relationships among historical events. When incorporating into the context of electronic documents, the timeline provides the basis for implementing an interface into an event space. Generalizing timelines also permits the flexible representation of many different kinds of relationhips beyond the temporal.
