Abstract
Zipf's law was used to qualify all the key-words of documents in a dat a set. This qualification was used to build a graphical representation of the resulting indicator in each document The graphical resolution leads to a document dispatch in a three dimensional space. This graphi cal representation was used as an information retrieval tool without u sing any keyword. The presentation of a case study is internet availab le. The graph is drawn in Virtual Reality Markup Language (VRML) allow ing a dynamic picture which is linked to a Database Management System (FreeWais). The experimentation was drawn to get a first impression of documents data set by querying without any keyword.
