Some Visualization Models for Conceptual Relations in Virtual Space

Abstract

　GUI has been widely used as user interface for computer from about 10 years. Objects or components are arranged in two dimensional plain in lots of GUI software. Some software appears as internet applications which arranges objects in virtual three dimensional space with VRML.
　This paper proposes some kinds of visualizing models for conceptual relations in virtual three dimensional space. Conceptual relations means the states in which many terms(concepts) are complicatedly connected by the semantic relations, such as tool, agent. VRML scripts are experimentally made using the EDR concept dictionary to examine effectiveness and problems.
