Abstract
The Timeline is a dynamic interface to explore the content in netzspannung.org's database. It acts as a kind of browser. It consists of several tracks, which are horizontally arranged one above the other. Each track comprises a category of database entries, which are represented in temporal sequence beside each other. Thus the Timeline interface orders the content parallel in different categories in a time line, allowing temporal relations to be discovered between different content fields. The synchronous-optical presentation enables things to be seen in a new light and to interconnect them. It is a form of visualization that creates new semantic connections, thus bringing about a different understanding.
