Summary:LEXIS-NEXIS has licensed the Hyperbolic Tree from Inxight Software, and has incorporated the capabilities into the company's Web Source Locator. The goal is to allow users to navigate and grasp the relationships among LEXIS-NEXIS' 22,000 content sources in an interactive visual display. The Hyperbolic Tree displays information in tree-like content pages that animate with additional layers of information as the user clicks an area of interest. This is the first step for using visualization tools at the LEXIS-NEXIS Group, says Lisa Mitnick, vice president of strategic planning and business development for the NEXIS business unit.
