A Proposed Integrated Environment for Enhanced User interaction and Value-Adding of Electronic Documents: An Empirical Evaluation

摘要

this article investigates the potentialities of a proposed information environment (PROPIE) for user interaction and value-adding of electronic documents (e-docu- ments). The design of PROPIE was based on a thorough review of user needs and requirements in interacting with information through well-documented findings, and a focus group with 12 participants to identify features that were deemed desirable in future interactions. The design was also based on a review of developments in various user interface (UI) technologies, visualization, and interactive techniques, and a consideration of new forms of information structuring and organization that pose important implications for the design of more ad- vanced.
