A proposed information environment for enhanced integrated access and value- adding to electronic documents

摘要

Providing enhanced access and added value to electronic documents (e-documents) sill require interfaces that effectively mediate between the information seeking needs of the users and the information that the e-document has to offer. A proposed infor- mation environment (PIE) to support effective and creative use of e-documents to ful- fil users' various information tasks and needs is presented. Providing a suite of novel features and interactive tools that can be flexibly combined, the PIE allows users to apply multiple novel ways to intuitively query and navigate information in an e-document.
