SoftwareFrom: Dusan Toman Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 16:33:27 +0200 Subject: Miner3D SITE 2.0 - many new features, XML and larger Web-applications area Miner3D.com announces version 2.0 of its Miner3D SITE software for building Internet navigational systems, hierarchical sitemaps, corporate portals and web-based information retrieval systems. The new software brings significant enhancements to the web browser's set of features and makes its user interface more rich and suitable for handling complex information. More and more technology analysts and prime research companies accent the undiscovered potential of the Web and foresee a new, extended Internet, really interactive and executable Net, the X Internet. Over the last few years the web browser has become standard part of the operating system and today is widely used in many different applications. Unfortunately, the browser was originally designed for displaying formatted texts and pictures and that carries its limitations, especially if used in data-intensive solutions as the application framework. The flat HTML pages can hardly meet today's user's expectations. Almost every web surfer daily feels the user interface problems while trying to browse amounts of returned web search hits. Miner3D SITE displays the information as sets of graphic objects spread over a space. It concentrates data from series of common HTML pages into single, flexible and fully interactive 3D visualization and provides user an easy, fast and intuitive mouse and keyboard navigation over the information space. Hyperlinked Miner3D spaces enable creation of hierarchical structures and improve the navigation through complex information systems, large Web sites or Intranets. Since the information space is not static and dead, as it is on classic 2D HTML pages, Miner3D gives users also couple of extras: - real-time information delivery, scenes may change continually - ability to delete useless hits - select information objects - copy to System Clipboard - paste to other applications (Word, Excel, Email software...) - send emails containing selected information - create reports - save information for future use Miner3D SITE is a software technology enabling Webmasters and developers create many new interesting applications. Its data type independence and full customizability allows deployment in text, media or data mining and analysis projects. The typical application area starts at the Web and site searching, sitemaps, file manager applications, virtual libraries, archive access systems, news, media, image and music servers, Intranet applications, corporate database searching and analysis, sales, inventory, stock, personnel database records retrieval systems, scientific research data management, chat rooms, auction sites, banking and financial applications, stock trading and stocks portfolio management applications, industrial processes and real-time control and monitoring systems. The new demos available from our pages illustrate the width of its application range too. (http://miner3D.com/m3Dsite/) Built on standard Internet and graphics technologies makes the integration and deployment in current environments easy and fast. Miner3D communicates with Web servers using XML language, while there is also an option to extract information directly from pure HTML Web pages. Well-designed XML syntax allows description of complex information structures on small pages of 25KB or even less. It saves the network bandwidth and enables very fast downloads when even the footprint of Miner3D Viewer is excellent too - only 85KB! The software is completely server platform independent and capable to communicate with any XML-aware web server, Miner3D Viewer, the client, is currently available only for Internet Explorer 4.0 and above. The Netscape version will be released in November 2001, the version for Apple Mac computers will follow early next year. The design of the Viewer makes ports to new platforms easy and soon it will be released also to game consoles, selected mobile or online devices, handhelds, web pad devices and set top boxes.
