The HyperBagGraph DataEdron: An Enriched Browsing Experience of Datasets

Traditional verbatim browsers give back information linearly according to a ranking performed by a search engine that may not be optimal for the surfer. The latter may need to assess the pertinence of the information retrieved, particularly when s·he wants to explore other facets of a multi-facetted information space. Simultaneous facet visualisation can help to gain insights into the information retrieved and call for further refined searches. Facets are potentially heterogeneous cooccurrence networks, built choosing at least one reference type, and modeled by HyperBag-Graphs—families of multisets on a given universe. References allow to navigate inside the dataset and perform visual queries. The approach is illustrated on Arxiv scientific pre-prints searches.
