 随着对可视化研究的深入，出现了许多不同表现形式的可视化检索系统。在总结分析已有信息检索可视化系统的基础上，本文提出了WWW信息检索可视化的一般原理，并指出信息检索可视化的实现需要始终坚持以支持信息检索为目标的原则。

Among the wide range of information retrieval visualization systems, the basic process of its implementation is yet neglected. Based on the analysis of different information retrieval visualization systems, the process of the design and implementation of information retrieval visualization is described, including the visualized object and virtual structure, visual mapping, visual information space, and rendering. Visualization of information retrieval is for aiding with the information retrieval, which  is the principle for the implementation.
