ABSTRACT:
A user interface with parameters that can be adjusted to display only a few nodes, in order to facilitate exploration, or many nodes simultaneously, in order to facilitate an user's understanding of a graph of nodes of information. The user interface provides for exploring a collection of connected objects simultaneously from the hierarchical and the relational points of view, and increases exposure to related information while maintaining context. Parameters can be adjusted to increase or decrease the extent of the relational context.
