Visualization Notations, Models and Taxonomies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Visualization taxonomies are an important means of imposing some structure on a rather diverse field. We review some earlier work in this area, particularly work based on the use of a notation to label classes of visualization techniques that are appropriate to particular entities. We propose a new notation introducing it in the context of a new visualization reference model, one we hope will lead eventually to a means of describing visualizations in a clear and unambiguous way.

SNARF Taxonomies for Sketching Novel and Realistic Functionality
Paper prototyping is often used during the critical stage of early design. While paper prototyping requires a small time investment, it can fail to accurately convey the application’s behavior. Existing computerized tools allow designers to express both appearance and interactions through sketching; designers may even execute their sketches. However, these tools have limitations, such as scalab...
متن کاملA Model-Based Visualization Taxonomy
Frameworks for organizing literature and ideas in visualization are valuable since they allow us to gain a higherlevel understanding of the state of visualization research. Current taxonomies of visualization techniques are problematic because the terminology is vague. We present a new taxonomy based on models of a data set rather than attributes of the data itself. This method addresses severa...
متن کاملTaxonomized Automated Monitoring of Interactive Visualization
Most visualization taxonomies are designed to help designers and users choose appropriate analysis and visualization techniques for the data being displayed; even automate the generation of visualizations. We have developed a taxonomy with a different purpose: to support the analysis and modeling of the human data exploration process. User actions in a large information visualization and analys...
متن کاملUsing Visualization for Information Management Tasks
Taxonomies are a powerful modelling tool when building interfaces for disclosing large information repositories. However, their actual use is far from trivial; tasks such as creation, instantiation and maintenance of taxonomies are often difficult and time-consuming. We present a number of ways in which the Cluster Map, a component for the visualization of instantiated taxonomies, can help in t...
متن کاملTaxonomies of Visual Programming P and rogram Visualization
here has been a great interest recently in systems that use graphics to aid in the programming, ' debugging, and understanding of computer systems. The terms ''Visual Programming'' and 'Program Visualization'' have been applied to these systems. This paper attempts to provide-t more meaning to these terms by giving precise definitions, and then surveys a number of sys ems that can be classified...
