sense of visual search term

Sure it is you've noticed: When students prepare presentations, they use wikipedia. This is not always useful, even not at all always sufficient, but sometimes much too large. Students must also learn other media than the Internet to use.
Whoever denies his department including preparation of Wikipedia, which perhaps should do in a particular way and use the eyePlorer.


Then the result of a search looks for the term "Web 2.0" is no longer as in the classical view of Wikipedia- (pictured left), but is presented in a colorful circle , the especially the links to various other Wikipedia articles represented.

The key words are generic terms also assigned (such as: Science & Technology, People, health), depending on the keyword in content and size - vary - depending on the relevance to the topic. Sure: some concepts and assignments are quite streibar, but overall it is a clever search tool.

Also, as part of a circle will be selected for my research particularly important concept on which the search is then limited, if I am only about for the scientific aspects of Angela Merkel's career interest.

All other functions are available but also without registration. Whether I get information for a presentation or a skilled work or a portfolio an issue putting together at that eyePlorer would be a great help, at least in the structuring and planning of a theme.

What is the use of simplistic, with the help of this video beautifully clear. Many thanks to Nik Peachey for this Tip.
