Abstract :
Developments in multimedia and scientific visualization have greatly expanded the technical capabilities of geographic information systems. Users can visually explore, analyze, and present data and gain insight on spatial relations and patterns. But how do users manage all the information that reaches them? Highly-structured interfaces such as hypermaps, discussed here, are a necessary and useful way to structure multimedia components and let users easily navigate data sets
