Views There are 3 main types of views which can be created for the NMC: the standard circular view, the
extended circular view, and the hierarchical view. All of the views can be modified by the user by simply dragging any of the resources with the mouse. Any view modifications can be saved for future use.
The Standard Circular View: This is a good view to use when there are a relatively small number of resources (less than 40) to be displayed in the view, with relationships between some of them. |

The Extended Circular View: Again, like the standard circular view, this is a good view to use when there is a relatively small number of resources to be displayed in the view.It has advantages, as can be seen below, in that it separates out the resources with only a single relationship and places them further out and next to the resources they are related to so that the view is easier to `read'. |

The Hierarchical View: This is a good view when there is a large number of resources. It is also useful as a good starting point if a user wants to create his or her own views. |
