SnapShoot: Integrating Semantic Analysis and Visualization Techniques for Web-based Note Taking System

Iga, S. and Shinnishi, M.

We have many application software today to support reading and writing respectively. However, we believe that few applications available today fully support both reading and writing process of the note taking task. This paper presents a novel prototype system called 'SnapShoot'. The SnapShoot system integrates existing technology - a WWW browser, an out-line processor, context-awareness - with a unique information visualization tool in support of the users who edit and manage electronic documents online. The current system composed of a web based portal to manage the users' documents and an out-line processor tool responsible for editing and visualizing the users' documents. The out-line processor tool visualizes each line of the document by the semantics of the sentence. Early user experience shows that the system provides many benefits over the current application softwares.
