Hello, everyone. It's Ping.
I was browsing around today and discovered that some projects and
interests of mine have been mentioned here. A lot of new projects
in the knowledge-organization area seem to have sprung up here and
there, though i don't yet have a coherent picture of the landscape.
I thought perhaps that joining here would keep me up to date and
involved in what's happening. I'm currently at Berkeley, and this
area is my planned thesis topic.
Here are some tidbits:
- Graph visualization has been mentioned here. I recently
did a project for an info-viz class that ended up as a paper;
it got mentioned on Slashdot (probably due to our choice of
Gnutella as an example domain, rather than the graph layout
and animation technique that is the real work in the paper).
See: http://bailando.sims.berkeley.edu/infovis.html
- There was a posting about organizing all of the project
announcements that people have posted to this list. You
may want to check out Roundup. There's no voting feature
in the prototype, but that's an important and feasible
addition. I did a better design for a new system, but no
implementation. Others have started an implementation on
SourceForge (but i haven't had time to follow their work).

- IBIS has been mentioned a lot. One of my dreams is to build
an e-mail archiver that produces output like this:
See: http://lfw.org/ping/criticons/
- Facets, categories, and metadata were also mentioned. Marti
Hearst, my advisor, is also interested in visualization
and information retrieval. I'm the core developer on her
research project, Flamenco, which is about faceted metadata
and how to make it usable. Our team has designed, and i've
built, a series of prototypes for an image database browser.
It's not ready for prime-time, but if you're curious (and
gentle with it), you might want to have a look:

(Choose "development system", then try "FrankenFacet",
"FrankenMatrix", "NewSingleTree", or "Interface 4".)
I just played with that Smithsonian exhibit, "Revealing Things".
It's pretty cool.
