Abstract

Topic Maps For e-Learning (TM4L) is an environment for building, maintaining, and using standards-based, ontology-aware e-learning repositories. This paper discusses the intuitive, visual interface of the system in the context of TM4L evolution. The focus is on our work on extending TM4L with visual editing functionality. The integration of the editing and visualization supports authoring by providing browsing and editing “in one view.”
