Abstract: Systems supporting new forms of communication and archiving of dynamic visual information have a range of potential applications, some of which are described in this paper on a conceptual basis. We present a visual language for dynamic (historic) maps, applications of pictorial lexicons, concepts for interactive support systems for assembly and repair, and a platform for abstract movies.

Keywords: abstract movies, computer-supported communication, dynamic maps, information archiving, information retrieval, interactive maps, multimedia, visual communication, visual languages
