【 摘 要 】

The increasing size of indexed document sets are digitally available emphasizes the crucial need for more suitable representation tools than the traditional textual list of results. Many efforts have been made to develop graphical tools able to provide both overall and local views of a collection when focusing on a particuar subset of document.However an overcrowded visual representation ma not be realy useful to users if they are not guded in their nacigation process.Our goal is to combine the classification features of FCA and existing cisualization techniques to suggest navigation paths in a visual rep-resentation through meaningful and progressive focuses. The test collection used for our study is an indexed patent base provided by our industrial partner.
