Abstract :
We propose an interactive document keyword layout technique that enables browsing and manipulation of a collection of documents visually. This layout technique applies a force directed graph drawing algorithm and clusters documents and keywords by reacting to a user´s interaction dynamically. An example of visual interaction is demonstrated on an experimental system
