Visualization
"The idea of visualizing things is easy. Essentially, anything that
naturally exists in a three-dimensional space is pretty easy to
visualize. Ideas are more difficult to visualize algorithmically. Much
of the effort to date in CASCADE has played with visualization of
documents and document spaces."...

Augmentation
"From the set of identifiable document processes[51,10], tasks exist
where only a small portion of the subtasks require cognitive processing.
In CASCADE, the task is so structured as to offload the mechanical tasks
to the computer. For example, making a hypertext comment requires 10-15
actions (depending on how the process is defined). Only one of these
tasks, writing the comment itself, actually requires the commenter--the
rest can be done by the system. ``Augmentation'', as used by
Engelbart[25,24,26,23,22,21], involves task analysis and redesign to
create a set of processes that optimize the human side of the human
computer interaction. CASCADE augments comment and comment review
processes already. Research will augment additional document related
processes."...

Docuverse
"Docuverse represents a large document space. Each object in the space
is rendered as a small dot and the color of the dot depicts the state of
one of the object's attributes. Shneiderman's [16,8] Treemaps provide
similar results by rendering files and directories as bars. In the
Docuverse, files (or documents) are shown as colored arc segments and
directories (or containers) as enclosed pie segments. At the current
time, the Docuverse allows the user to recursively display up to six
levels of the document tree structure showing the size, type, age,
number of links, or usage of each object. Figure 1 shows a 4-level
directory hierarchy containing 3502 files in 164 directories showing the
age of each files. Theoretically, using an arc size of one pixel, one
could display 1,000,000 documents on a 1000x1000 pixel display. In
reality, we think it would be possible to display up to about 10,000
documents in a Docuverse space, and practical to display 3,000 or so
documents comfortably."....

Webview
"Docuverse provides a view of a large (1,000-5,000) set of objects with
minimal information about each object. Webview provides a tree-based
structural display of a smaller part of the file system or document
space. It shows individual document components, selected attributes of
the components and the links between them. At the current time, Webview
shows only hierarchical file system links. Once the DBMS control
structure has been completed, any number of relational structures may be
mapped to the same basic tree. As indicated, unlike Docuverse, the
Webview displays multiple attributes of the components. The nodes
display the object's name, its type is mapped to color, and for
system-generated files, the name also depicts author and creation
date."...
