摘要：A system and method are disclosed for illustrating relationships between a setof objects on a display device. An image is generated and displayed on the display device

that includes a graphical representation for each of the objects. One of the objects in theset of objects is selected, and an application determines relationships between theselected object and a subset of the other objects. Connectors (i.e., a graphic overlay) arerendered over the image to show the relationship between one object and anotherobject. Indirect relationships may be shown by drawing connectors between one objectand a related object that connect one or more intervening objects. In one embodiment,the objects are publications stored in a digital repository and the relationships betweenpublications are determined by examining references to other publications included incitations. Additional information, such as metadata, may also be rendered in the image.
