The TrustNeighborhoods technique uses the metaphor of a multi-layered city or fortress to intuitively represent trust as a simple geographic relation. The visualization uses a radial space-filling layout; there is a 2D mode for editing and configuration, as well as a 3D mode for exploration and overview. In addition, the 3D mode supports a simple animated "fly-to" command that is intended to show the user the context and trust of a particular document by zooming in on the document and its immediate neighborhood in the 3D city. The visualization is intended for integration into an existing desktop environment, connecting}, keywords={}, }
