Welcome

Star-fish is an interface that allows for the visualization, on a single screen, of all the resources available in the digital collections comprised by the Open Network of Digital Libraries (ONeDL).

Requirements

This implementation uses SVG, which is an XML-based description language for 2D graphics. A freely available SVG plug-in is needed for visualizing collections with Star-fish using your web browser.

Star-fish combines the starfields and fisheye visualization methods. While visualizing documents in a starfield, an area of interest can be selected and zoomed in to explore it while maintaining the overall context (fisheye). Then, after choosing a document of interest, you can explore its metadata and visualize its contents.
