The demonstration will feature the JAVELIN graphical user interface (a Java application running on the laptop) and the JAVELIN Repository (the central database of JAVELIN result objects, accessed via a web browser).

The preliminary answer justification includes the selected answer along with a variety of hyperlinks that can be clicked to provide additional detail regarding the system's analysis of the question, the documents retrieved, the passages extracted, and the full set of answer candidates. The justification also provides drill-down access to the steps taken by the Planner module in reasoning about how to best answer the given question. Figure 3 shows additional detail that is exposed when the &amp;quot;Documents Returned&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Request Fills&amp;quot; links are activated.</Paragraph>
