Abstract

The idea behind Timeline, developed by netzspannung.org, is based on the parallel, chronological presentation of the contents of different thematic content fields. In netzspannung.org Timeline, the contents are arranged on two axes. The X-axis corresponds to a continuous time line. The Y-axis is divided into several channels, each representing a thematic field. This enables contents to be represented simultaneously in a time and thematic context. Timeline is an interface of the Knowledge Map System. Unlike the semantic map which groups related contents, Timeline displays the contents of the clusters found by the system in order of the time they were created. The intuitive navigation using thematic fields along the time axis is augmented by the possibility of selecting a chosen project via keywords. Selecting a keyword generates a time line which displays all projects related to the chosen keyword.
