Visual Net Platform The Visual Net platform is the technical foundation for all ASI's visual mapping products. This patent pending visualization solution works with any information network composed of hierarchically organized categories and data objects. Visual Net takes all category/object attributes, and supplements this data with metadata collected by ASI's proprietary robot module. Based on all these attributes, the backend subsystem gives each category/object pairing a graphic representation and a unique X and Z location on a two-dimensional map. Visual Net can be utilized in a wide range of applications such as research libraries, corporate Intranets, eCommerce and retail cataloging, and general advanced "search and explore" of large amounts of data. Visual Net is offered as a standalone application or as part of custom applications provided directly or through ASI's partner channel. Visual Net Enterprise and Visual Net for Libraries, launched April 2001, are available immediately. Pricing varies based on application. About Antarcti.ca Systems Inc.
