History Flow Description

History Flow Visualization Application represents each document as a vertical line whose length corresponds to the length of the document. The technology then applies a standard "diff" algorithm to successive versions of a document, using periods and angle brackets to indicate changes. This level of detail is effective for free-form prose. After matching passages of successive versions have been identified, the matches are represented onscreen by a parallelogram connecting the appropriate sections of the document segments. Both segments and parallelograms are colored to indicate authorship. The application includes online help, as well as a plug-in for retrieving the history of a given page from any MoinMoin "wiki." ("Wikis" are Web sites that are freely editable by anyone who visits them. MoinMoin is an advanced, easily used, and extensible wiki engine.) Get History Flow and give it a try to see just how useful it can be for vieweing documents in a new way!
