Visual Knowledge Search Tool


eyePlorer is a Germany based company that visualizes knowledge graphs derived from Wikipedia content, that can be interactively explored. The service offers a visual user experience where the user does not work with documents but with knowledge & facts. It's done in a graphical, interactive, almost dialogue-like kind of way.

So how does it work?
There's no registration needed. You can search for any term, get a visual topic results for your query, then drag & drop the chosen facts to the notepad on the right side. After gathering all the information needed, you can copy the facts to clipboard or share with a friend via email.



I think it's a great personal work tool, but it can turn out to be an helpful public knowledge-base. Here are some suggestions to the eyePlorer team:
  • Allow people to save their notepad as it is - for that you'll probably need to enable registration
  • Let people choose between private and public projects - the public one can be shared among eyePlorer visitors
  • Add a search engine for finished project, and let people create a new project from an existent projects.
I found this Demo on the web, it looks a bit different from the actual product. I wonder if it's the before or after version... it simply looks better:

The eyePlorer technology is 5 years old and produces crap of content. Its not based on any semantic technology. Only in using Wikipedia content with some colocation analyzis. I've written a small technology overview here.

Thanks a lot for your article about eyePlorer.com, we're happy that you enjoy the tool. With regard to your three suggestions: we're already working on them but especially a complex feature such as user management takes some time to implement. Please stand by and continue to use http://www.eyeplorer.com. :-)
