Information navigation

RxWeb provides instant access to drug information, navigation capabilities, and clinical-screening functionality over the Internet. Using the latest Web browser technology, RxWeb enables the developer to offer proven drug screening (via NDDF Plus) with little or no...

At the start of the development, it had been intended use an expert system shell to implement this tool, however, after careful consideration, it was concluded that this was not the optimum strategy. An examination procedure can be considered as consisting of two parts fixed documentary information and variable parameters. For the fixed documentary information, a hypertext-like browser can be incorporated to provide point-and-click navigation through the standard. For the variable parameters, such as probe scanning paths, the decisions involved are too complex to be easily specified in a set of rules. Therefore a software module was developed to perfonn calculations on 3D geometric models, created fi om templates scaled by the user. 

With these massive amounts of data produced in HTS for combinatorial libraries, tools become necessary to make it possible to navigate through these data and to extract the necessary information, to search - as is said quite often -for a needle in a haystack. 

Another limitation concerns the duplication of process information on different VDU pages. Specifically, most of the data on the graphic displays were presented again in a different format on the text displays. This increased the number of VDU pages used in total to perform a task. This secondary navigation task undoubtedly increased the workload of the worker who had to control the process. Within the text displays themselves, information was not structured in a functional manner. TTiat is, information required by workers was... 

The limitation of snapshots is that they show particular sample situations we want to describe the effect an action has in all possible situations. We can do that by writing postconditions—informal statements or formal expressions that define the effect of an action, using—the same navigation style as invariants in Section 2.5, Static Invariants. For example ... 

Each of these pieces of information can be retrieved from the implementation by following some links. Sometimes, that is enough the info is a String, which is what we modeled. But often, we navigate to an implementation type, such as Order so we end up by saying that it s not actually the implementation s Orders, but rather the abstractions they represent. So we say oscustomers.orders.abs. Then in a separate retrieval, we can define how Orders are represented, in the same way. 

Of each type of window, at most one is visible at a time. Those strongly outlined are always visible the current title, copy, member, and hire. Italics show information only displayed in certtain states. Underlined items are hypertext links —navigation as shown. 

The DR lines link SWISS-PROT to other biomolecular databases. SWISS-PROT is currently linked to 29 different databases. The preceding example shows links to 19 different entries in 6 different databases. The cross references allow users to navigate to linked databases to retrieve part or all of the related information. The format of a DR line, except for cross references to PROSITE (Hofmann et al., 1999), Pfam (Bateman et al., 1999), and the EMBL nucleotide sequence databases (Stoesser et al., 1999), is the following ...
