INKE – TextTiles Browser
The TextTiles browser is a prototype that facilitates research by providing users with display manipulation capacities. Primarily, TextTiles attends to the concept of rich prospect browsing—a more user-controlled type of browsing that promotes a persistent, manipulable, organizable display of items in a collection. TextTiles is primarily concerned with collections that consist of textual information. Each document corresponds with a small tile in the system, and this tile contains a list of relevant bibliographic elements. Users can, of course, manipulate and control the tiles as desirable.
