The Document Explorer view of an associative network of documents is visible in the middle of the screen with overview diagrams to the right. In this view documents are labeled by content.

The rightmost is a view of the document set s global structure. In this system indexing information is made available and can be used to perform searches on documents keyword indexing. Additionally, Harvest can serve as a general purpose tool for filtering or connecting indexing information to other tools by making keyword lists and location information available. The Document Explorer system operates on keyword lists to determine associations among documents using a cooccurence metric to derive similarity measures among documents. As either parameter is manipulated, edges in a less complex network form a subset of the edges in a more complex network.
