An Annotation Process for Data Visualization Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
As the area of information visualization grows, a massive amount of visualization techniques has been developed. Consequently, the choice of an appropriate visualization has become more complex, usually resulting in unsatisfactory data analysis. Although there exist models and classifications that could guide the choice of a visualization technique, they are mostly generalist and do not present a clear methodology for evaluation and evolution. In contrast, we propose an annotation process for data visualization techniques based on an initial capability-driven collection of terms and concepts that encompasses visual components of both well established as well as modern visualization techniques. To demonstrate the initial collections expressiveness, we present a qualitative analysis of an experiment with specialist users at annotating visualization techniques from the D (Data-Driven Documents) library. Furthermore, to show the completeness of the collection, we automatically assess its coverage of all published papers from six major international information visualization conferences since 1995. Our results attest the expressiveness of the initial collection and its coverage of over 99% of the analysed literature. Finally, we discuss the limitations and alternatives for semi-automatically evolving the annotation process as new visualization techniques are developed and how the spread of this type of methodology could benefit the information visualization community. Keywords–Annotation Process; Data Visualization; Ontologies; Taxonomies.

A new approach for data visualization problem
Data visualization is the process of transforming data, information, and knowledge into visual form, making use of humans’ natural visual capabilities which reveals relationships in data sets that are not evident from the raw data, by using mathematical techniques to reduce the number of dimensions in the data set while preserving the relevant inherent properties. In this paper, we formulated d...

This thesis presents an annotation system to support scientific data analysis. Data analysis can be defined as the process of distilling potentially large amounts of measured or calcu lated data into simple observations or parameters that characterize the phenomenon under study. One of the key activities in data analysis is recording results and histories of analy sis sessions. However curren...
متن کاملNew Visualization Model for Large Scale Biosignals Analysis
Benefits of long-term monitoring have drawn considerable attention in healthcare. Since the acquired data provides an important source of information to clinicians and researchers, the choice for long-term monitoring studies has become frequent. However, long-term monitoring can result in massive datasets, which makes the analysis of the acquired biosignals a challenge. In this case, visualizat...
متن کاملVisualization Annotation at Internet Scale
Visualization annotation allows users to communicate within a visualization as opposed to outside it. While effective in research settings, the technique has not found a home on today’s social data analysis sites. Scaling the technique to an Internet-sized audience represents the most significant obstacle to its widespread adoption. In this paper, we discuss the problem and propose four interac...
متن کاملVisualization for Coreference Annotation
The annotation of documents with linguistic information requires time-consuming and therefore expensive manual annotation. Especially, a complex task, like coreference resolution, needs large data sets for the training of supervised machine learning methods. We present a tool which combines visualization techniques and unsupervised machine learning to support the annotation of documents with co...
