In this tool we apply the method to show, for a given set of terms, all the documents and terms associated to that set. The intended meaning of the set is to be enough for describing a topic. The map could represent more than twelve terms and their related documents without becomi ng cumbersome to handle and analyze, and of course many subsets can be displayed at the same time and compared. What the user sees is something like figure 1. Maps are composed of many slices that works together as a volume.
Every slice is made of triangles arranged to build a bigger one.
Figure 3 is a close-up of any of these triangles. From now on we describe the term level, which is the more general. The surface of every triangle can be plain or wrinkled, depending on the existence of documents related to any the surrounding terms or not. As the arrow head is a piramid of triangular base, arrows have a triangular shadow. Corners of the container triangle stand for terms.
