This project aim is to provide an application that support visualization of information from biomedical documents available online. The large numbers of potentially related documents retrieved by search engines ie. Google or PubMed are being represented in a non-interactive and organized form. This conventional representation of information did not help in providing meaningful information for the user in helping them to navigate through the co-related documents retrieved from the same field in biomedical studies. Information visualisation technique can further provide user with the relationship among the biomedical documents retrieved from the user search results. By forming the relationship between the biomedical documents retrieved, user can have an overview of the connection between the information resides in multiple documents. The graphical visualization are to be in the form of tree diagram whereby user can see the expansion of the information being provided by each of the biomedical documents retrieved in a guided approach.
