Free-link Topology Navigation on Statistical Table Objects: Metadata Schema and User Interface

A table object, defined and described in XML, is treated as the basic unit in a free-link topology that enables multiple inheritances for each node. In this paper, a novel table navigation system called TableHunter is introduced. Each table object is presented in the TableHunter as a node of a map structure, and supports a context+focus view.
