Abstract

See full text

A method for representing linked document connectivity that produces an easy to use, uncluttered screen display. An outline view shows a web of documents as a limited, hierarchical outline. A link view, operatively connected to the outline view, shows a small region of the web surrounding a focus document. The outline may be expanded or contracted to show documents at several levels of the hierarchy, at each branch. The links to and from the focus document may be expanded to show a plurality of levels of connection outward from the focus document. Links may be followed to change the focus document in the link view, and documents may be selected in outline view, thereby changing the focus document.
