Abstract

Ontologies can represent large, multidimensional spaces: classical
music, research in computer science in the UK, health care for breast
cancer are examples of rich domains. There have been no easy ways
to represent meaningful slices through these multidimensional spaces to
privilege the parts of the domain that are of interest to a given user.
mSpace, an interaction model we describe here, is particularly suited to
ontology-based interaction because it is designed to expose and support
exploration of relations in a domain. In this paper we propose the formalism
for this interaction model to support mapping this kind of userdetermined
interaction onto a high dimensional space represented by an
ontology. The model provides semantic web designers with a means for
rapidly prototyping and interrogating the data represented by an ontology.
It also and provides a fast, effective UI alternative to keyword search
and browsing for users to explore the domain space while maintaining
domain context.
