ConceptCloud: a tagcloud browser for software archives

Gillian J. Greene, Bernd Fischer

Abstract

ConceptCloud is an interactive browser for SVN and Git repositories. Its main novelty is the combination of an intuitive tag cloud interface with an underlying concept lattice that provides a formal structure for navigation. This combination allows users to explore repositories serendipitously, without predefined search goals and along different navigation paths. ConceptCloud can derive different lattice types for a repository and supports concurrent navigation in multiple linked tag clouds that can each be individually customized, which allows multi-faceted repository explorations.
