Present

Through VUE’s interface, repositories of digital information can be searched via the Resources window. VUE also supports federated searching across digital libraries and repositories.

Digital content such as images, urls, videos and documents can be added to VUE maps, allowing authors to create meaningful content maps.

search organize present

By way of semantic linking, grouping and nesting, content can be orgazined and contextualized to create meaningful collections.

The “Merge Maps” tool can merge multiple maps into a new one. The “Ontologies” tool provides additional semantic meaning. The “Connectivity Analysis” tool generates a connectivity matrix which can be imported into other statistical packages.

VUE’s interactive zoom and pathways tools allow presenters to deliver linear and non-linear presentations while maintaining information context.

VUE is open source and free http://vue.tufts.edu
