The
visual|catalogues System
- Stay in Control of your data
visual|catalogues is a
shareware system for generating catalogs or brochures
of visual information off-line and using these in-house or across
your local network, or publishing these on-line to the Internet for
access from public web pages, for displaying on an Intranet, or for
distributing free or for sale on CD-Rom or CD
business card.
The system is
visual in that it displays thumbnail
images of items which provide at-a-click access to more detailed
visual representations, such as larger images, movies, textual
documentation, or to the many other types of representations and file
types that can added as part of each cataloged item's record.
The three catalog
generation modules support creation of single or multiple catalogs
and allow single or multiple seat access (depending on the module you
purchase). All versions allow you to publish at-a-click to a local
hard drive for network or Intranet access, or for creating CD-ROM,
DVD or CD Business Cards (electronic business card) creation, or to
go on-line for publishing to a catalog web page on the Internet or
external Intranet.
Applications
The visual|catalogs
system can be used for large and small, complex and simple catalogs,
allows categorisation of how data is both held and displayed, allows
many different kinds of items to
be cataloged and viewed, and displays the information about these in
different suitable ways, via a common easy-to-use interface.
Search Engine
visual|catalogs
Professional and Enterprise
versions include a new kind of very powerful, highly accurate, search
engine, which allows users to search using single keywords
(which generate prompts) or by entering natural language expressions.
The search can filter on item name(s) (noun), adjectival descriptions
(such as colour, material finish and style), location and/or context,
size, price and date. Multiple keywords can be assigned to each
individual item, and the system allows for the addition of both
synonyms and null words, the latter allowing natural language
expressions to be allowed for in search expressions.
The system can be
set up to allow users to search across single or multiple catalogs
from one interface, either on-line or from network or CD Rom.
Cross-platform Viewing
For end-users to
view catalogs, the system includes a cross-platform pure JAVA
applet, as well as a Windows
viewer which will in most cases run without installation from
any Windows 95, 98, NT 4, 2000 or XP system. Both interfaces are
provided as part of the system, along with web page templates and
other setup files, for royalty free distribution if the catalog is
distributed for free. (See Licenses).
Creating catalogs
The software for creating
catalogs is available in various modules. Jump to the products page
to download evaluation versions. The form based catalog creation
modules are designed with a number of common features to make it as
quick and easy as possible for you to work. The
system allows you to create hierarical categories to hold your
records, and allows end-users to browse through these quickly, making
choices from the thumbnails. The
system can be used to catalog different types of entries, and
provides different interfaces for working with these. Entries can be
as simple as images, or as complex as 3D computer models.
Extending
Data representations
catalogs can be
extended, so that a simple catalog of products represented as images,
can be used as the basis for an e-catalog or catalog of virtual
products (3D models, materials libraries etc) that can be developed later.
Virtual catalogs
for Virtual
Environments
The system
includes support for interactive use of cataloged items in the
virtual 3D environment in programs such as AutoCAD. A virtual catalog
allows an end user (e.g. an architect or designer) to use real products
for design and visualisation in the 3D CAD or virtual environment for
visualisation. The system includes advanced interactive tools to
facititate this.
Typical product
catalogs that might be suitable for this treatment are:
materials such as
floor and wall finishes and fabrics, furniture, fixtures and fittings
such as kitchen system, office desking, etc., profiles such as
skirtings and cornices,
E-commerce
solution...available
very
soon
The cross platform
e-commerce solution will be available soon, and will allow email
ordering from a CD Rom, and e-commerce enabled catalogs to be
accessed searched, products tested in the virtual environment, and
required items ordered.
