Visual Knowledge Map - graphical discovery search tool

Visual Knowledge Map is a graphical search tool that visually outlines related keywords and summaries.

Visual Knowledge Map is a part of the WebSummarizer, BlogSummarizer and WikiSummarizer family of products.

When you enter keywords into the Visual Knowledge Map tool, it gives you a set of topics related to your search terms and displays them as a visual interactive map. Then, for each of the discovered keywords, the tool provides ten additional keywords to broaden your discovery context.

The visual nature of the Visual Knowledge Map makes it interactive, easy to use and share.

As you click on a keyword, related topics appear next to your keyword. When you click on the keyword, you get an instant visual summary, based on a relevant Wikipedia article.

Here is an example of the Visual Knowledge Map tool using the Wikipedia knowledge base for text mining and generating visual summaries of the keywords. Let's look at the keyword "Internet" as a Visual Knowledge Map.

A word of caution: not all results will be relevant to your topic. The Visual Map Tool is not a human brain; however, you can select and add keywords according to your needs. When you peek into Wikipedia's brain, you are going to get results that encompass the entire context of about 4 million articles. That's a lot of brainstorming power, right? 

The non-relevant results are just as valuable as those that you want to keep because they show you how Wikipedia applies your keywords within its huge content which may help you expand your views. This is why using the Visual Knowledge Map tool will help you  discover many gems that you may never have normally unearthed.

You can try the Visual Knowledge Map tool in any of these products, depending on your needs:
