Visualization of a Project
PoolParty's Visual Mapper lets you browse through your project in a different way.
Visual browsing enables thesaurus managers to gain a comprehensive overview of existing structures and to present concepts and their relationships in a more engaging way. Unlike the traditional tree view—which shows a concept’s connection to only one broader term at a time—visual browsing can show multiple relationships at the same time, offering a richer, more intuitive understanding of how concepts relate to each other.
In the Visual Mapper you can see all relations of a concept at once. The size of each bubble gives an indication of the extent of the hierarchy beneath its related concepts. Sections with various colors represent the types of relations available for each related concept.
The legend on the upper right-hand corner of the visualization shows the color code for each available relation.
Note
If the legend is not visible by default, try zooming out in your browser or click on the Toggle Details button in the right-hand corner to reveal it.
Use the Display Settings button to configure these options:
Toggle All Properties: enable or disable all available properties for the selected project, concept scheme, or concept.
Show All SKOS Data: relations and data (concepts, concept schemes, labels) based on SKOS definitions will be displayed.
Custom Scheme Name: relations, attributes, and classes based on the respective custom scheme will be displayed.
Use the Toggle Details button to display the details pane for the selected concept.
In the image below the visualization settings have been set to:
Toggle Details is active.
A custom scheme (in this case the Cocktail Scheme) is active, therefore the color legend displays the relations of the project's active custom scheme.
Toggle All Properties: all available properties and values will be active or inactive if you check this box.
