abstract
Interactive Timeline Editing and Review (ITER), a general framework for modeling and presenting temporal information, is described. In addition, the tmViewer interface is described for viewing temporal and other metadata. ITER and tmViewer go beyond previous electronic timeline displays in treating timelines as hypertexts and structured documents, and allowing interactive display of the metadata in addition to the events. The use of the tool is described for exploring bibliographic records, such as search hits from the book database available at amazon.com, and for the presentation of timelines.
