Visualization of facets
Provide intuitive visualization of result sets, with drag-and-drop capabilities to combine concepts. Show relative size of sets based upon results, overlap of concepts, and citation relationship of concepts as space between sets.
Value for Users
Remove the need for Boolean activators, show visually existing computer identified connections and relationships, new alignment possibilities, and allow researchers to equally see authors, institutions, subject headings, keywords, and even thesauri relationships in one physical plane. Summun and other pre-harvesting tools perform the relationship aspects, but do not provide visualization interfaces showing easily combineable objects.
Application Users
any researcher looking for existing deep relationships between authors/institutions/granting agencies and concepts with existing relationships or possible near alignments or unconsidered alignments. Especially powerful for finding areas of overlap across disciplines with different vocabularies/ontologies.

This could be really neat. I’d have to see the execution, though, as it could be difficult to use.
At present, given the volume of information available and the difficulties to group or summarize it in a way that we can establish relationships between different conceptual categories have found a powerful tool in visualizing information that helps us to expedite processing and go closer encounters with new information. So this would be an advanced application of the results may be promising for facilitating scientific research work with the information to be carried out scientists and the development of science so that my approval is complete.
