Relational Browser++ (RB++), also known as RAVE, is an alternative browsing
tool originally developed for Federal Statistical agencies with support from the NSF Digital Government
program and Bureau of Labor Statisties (BLS). The Relation Browser concept grew out of the need to provide
an alternative to the sitemap and searching mechanisms on the
Fedstats web site. The Relation
Browser allows site visitors to preview the kinds of information
available at various federal web sites that contain statistical
information. We aim to provide easy to use browsing and searching capabilities.
Refer to the history
page to learn more about how this tool and its interface have
evolved.
The RAVE user interface makes heavy use of mouse-overs to create
a more dynamic and informative interface than is possible through
most other kinds of interfaces. The interface has progressed through
several design iterations including several usability studies and
a full field test.
Sample only -- not a live applet. To
try out RAVE, see the Demonstrations
