==[[Improvise]] visualisation software==

Authors description from the [http://www.personal.psu.edu/cew15/improvise/index.html Improvise site homepage]:
<blockquote>
[[Improvise]] is a fully-implemented Java software architecture and user interface that enables users to build and browse highly-coordinated visualizations interactively. By coupling a shared-object coordination model with a declarative visual query language, users gain precise control over how navigation and selection affects the appearance of data across multiple views, using a potentially infinite number of variations on well-known coordination patterns such as synchronized scrolling, overview+detail, brushing, drill-down, and semantic zoom.</blockquote>

This seems interesting as it seems to include a domain specific query language to support construction of visualisations, as well as implementing a [[Metavisualization]] facility.

Taxonomy

2008-03-11T08:19:18Z

Spdegabrielle:

This taxonomy is to aid retrieval of works either within or about the field of information of Information Visualisation by providing controlled vocabulary of terms for the description of works.

It is a response to the lack of support for the field from existing instruments ([http://www.acm.org/class/1998/ CCS] and [http://www.loc.gov/cds/lcsh.html LCSH]) for retrieval.

== Purposes of InfoVis taxonomy ==

Since [[Information Visualization]] is a relatively new research area, taxonomies have been developed for aspects of the field including visualisations and software design patterns, no taxonomy for the field itself has been developed. We need to develop one for various reasons:
*Users can find appropriate InfoVis technologies among the taxonomy
*Developers and designers can find possible design choices
*Provide Researchers an overview of the field to identify boundaries, gaps and hotspots to inform future research directions

== Preferred characteristics of a taxonomy ==

Guzman and Verstappen (2003) listed the following characteristics of well established index terms, which can be applicable to establish a taxonomy:

*Exhaustivity: all the themes, objects and concepts dealt with by the document are to be found in the index.
*Selectivity: only information of interest to users has been selected.
*Specificity: the description represents the contents of the document as accurately as possible and avoids over-general or over-precise descriptors where specific or less precise terms would be more appropriate.
*Consistency: another indexer or a user would normally describe the same document, or documents on the same subject, in the same way.

== Taxonomy ==

The following list shows the currently available taxonomy:
# [[Draft taxonomy]]

== Frameworks ==

Often, some literature about taxonomy simply suggests framework (e.g., Data State Model). These frameworks cannot meet the whole purpose of the taxonomy. Thus, these framework should be distinguished and listed separately as follows:

Draft taxonomy

Spdegabrielle: added Sonification just to be contentious - see discussion page

It's worth noting that headings in a taxonomy are never perfect; they are intended as aids for retrieval, and will be shaped over time as a field grows and changes.

With that in mind;
# headings should be distinct (documents may come under more than one heading - and maybe even require a new sub heading, while headings.
# the organisation and order of headings is arbitrary and often flawed, but remember these are just aids for retrieval, they don't define the field. Try to think like an undergraduate (who knows nothing about InfoVis) when making changes.
# look at the keywords you have assigned your own papers, bookmarks, references etc. is anything missing here? The add it.
# ideally this will be a tool used by catalogers(librarians) and publishers to help readers find works in infovis. They may only have a passing knowledge of the field.
# avoid acronyms, or define them clearly if they have 'literary warrant' (eg aformentioned undergrad is likely to search for IVRM)

They are taxonomies of the information visualisations studied in infoviz, rather than a taxonomy of the field, but they are at least a starting point.

Section headings from the Proceedings of the 11th International Conference Information Visualization (IV '07)

I think these work better than the section headings from 'using vision to think' for instance, as they are centered on research practice, rather than trying to present a unified view of the field.

[[User:Spdegabrielle|Spdegabrielle]] 23:37, 4 November 2007 (CET)

== The ACM Computing Classification System (1998) ==

Has little to say on information visualisation; but does show how one might be constructed.
(ACM reserves all rights - so don't copy/paste.)

[[User:Spdegabrielle|Spdegabrielle]] 23:37, 4 November 2007 (CET)

== Very interesting work ==

It is great that you are thinking about how the field of information visualization can be described via a taxonomy! It would be very handy to have such a taxonomy which might also ease my current struggling when using ACM's or other's taxonomies to categorize research papers in the field.

-- [[User:Iwolf|Wolfgang Aigner]] 12:07, 5 November 2007 (CET)

Thanks,

I have given it a page:[Draft taxonomy], Linked from [Taxonomy].

What other (apart from ACMCCS) taxonomies/classification systems do you use?

[[User:Spdegabrielle|Spdegabrielle]] 14:11, 5 November 2007 (CET)

What comes here to my mind are for example the different classification schemes that libraries use.<br>
-- [[User:Iwolf|Wolfgang Aigner]] 15:29, 5 November 2007 (CET)

LCSH has about five Information Visualization entries, with only one narrower term 'software visualization'

<pre>
SOURCE OF HEADINGS: Library of Congress Online Catalog
YOU SEARCHED: Subject Authority Headings = Information visualization

Information visualization
Information visualization Case studies.
Information visualization Congresses.
Information visualization Data processing.
Information visualization Handbooks, manuals, etc.
Information visualization Periodicals.
Information visualization Psychological aspects.
Information visualization Software.

INFORMATION FOR: Information visualization
Narrower Term: Software visualization
See Also: Visual analytics

INFORMATION FOR: Software visualization
Narrower Term: Computational steering (Computer science)
</pre>

-- http://authorities.loc.gov/

Another interesting exercise would be to look at a collection of papers, and see what keywords the authors assign.

== can the taxonomy page be added to the site navigation ==

It'd be great to give it a higher profile. [[User:Spdegabrielle|Spdegabrielle]] 12:13, 10 March 2008 (CET)

== taxonomy alternatives ==

It might be a crazy idea, but it seems a taxonomy is a retrieval instrument whose earliest recorded use/invention dates back to the Sumerian (approx. Iraq).

In some ways it is the earliest Infovis instrument!

Can we do better?

Visualization Design Patterns

2008-02-27T09:10:19Z

Spdegabrielle: corrected bad markup

== Overview ==
For any design discipline, including Information and Scientific Visualization, there are design problems within the domain that tend to arise, time and again. Although effective solutions may be known, they are not helpful unless that knowledge is coherently structured and communicated to colleagues. Without good structure, design knowledge may be disparate and disjointed, and relationships among solutions may not be apparent. Without good communication, designers who are unaware of solutions may be forced to ‘reinvent the wheel’, wasting unnecessary effort on a problem that has already been solved by others. Some means of capturing and codifying solutions to Information Visualisation design problems would be useful for those engaged in practice. The Visualization Design Patterns described here have been proposed for this purpose.

== Foundational Patterns ==

These patterns are the building blocks of Visualizations. They are more "reference patterns" than true "design patterns". Visualization designers will assume they are a given component of visualization design. The patterns are included to provide a common technical lexicon, to build a ''lingua franca'' used throughout the language, to encourage communications between novices and experts, and to facilitate a discussion of pros and cons.

Patterns:Reference Model

2008-01-31T10:55:22Z

Spdegabrielle: added related patterns and brief summary

{| align="right"
| __TOC__
|}
== Summary ==
A structural pattern for dealing with the complexity of visualisation system architectures.

== Category ==
Data Modelling and Management

== Context ==

== Problem ==
Information visualization application development requires balancing issues of data management, visual mappings, computer graphics, and interaction. Determining the right separation of concerns has serious consequences for the complexity, extensibility, and reusability of software architectures. The Reference Model pattern provides a general template for structuring visualization applications that separates data models, visual models, views, and
interactive controls.
== Forces ==

== Solution ==
'''Separate data and visual models to enable multiple visualizations of a data source, separate visual models from displays to enable multiple views of a visualization, and use modular controllers to handle user input in a flexible and reusable fashion.'''

[[Image:Reference model.png]]

== Examples ==
The Reference Model pattern has been widely used and advocated. Both Chi et al’s data state model <ref>Chi, E. H., J. T. Riedl. [http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~echi/papers/infovis98/operator.pdf An Operator Interaction Framework for Visualization Systems.] IEEE Symposium on Information Visualization (InfoVis), 1998.</ref> and Card et al’s infovis reference model <ref>Card, S. K., J. D. Mackinlay, B. Schneiderman (eds.). Readings in Information Visualization: Using Vision To Think. Morgan-Kaufman, 1999.</ref> prescribe the use of this pattern. In their exploration of design choices for architecting visualizations, Tang et al. <ref>Tang, D., C. Stolte, and P. Hanrahan. Design Choices when Architecting Visualizations. IEEE Symposium on Information Visualization (InfoVis), 2003. </ref> also discuss the importance of separating data and visual models. Finally, numerous software frameworks adopt this template
of application structure, including Advizor <ref>Eick, S. G. Visual Discovery and Analysis. IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 6(10). January 2000.</ref>, Improvise <ref>Weaver, C. Building Highly-Coordinated Visualizations In Improvise.

== Summary ==

== Category ==
Data Modelling and Management

== Context ==

== Problem ==
Information visualization application development requires balancing issues of data management, visual mappings, computer graphics, and interaction. Determining the right separation of concerns has serious consequences for the complexity, extensibility, and reusability of software architectures. The Reference Model pattern provides a general template for structuring visualization applications that separates data models, visual models, views, and
interactive controls.
== Forces ==

== Solution ==
'''Separate data and visual models to enable multiple visualizations of a data source, separate visual models from displays to enable multiple views of a visualization, and use modular controllers to handle user input in a flexible and reusable fashion.'''

[[Image:Reference model.png]]

== Examples ==
The Reference Model pattern has been widely used and advocated. Both Chi et al’s data state model <ref>Chi, E. H., J. T. Riedl. An Operator Interaction Framework for Visualization Systems. IEEE Symposium on Information Visualization (InfoVis), 1998.</ref> and Card et al’s infovis reference model <ref>Card, S. K., J. D. Mackinlay, B. Schneiderman (eds.). Readings in Information Visualization: Using Vision To Think. Morgan-Kaufman, 1999.</ref> prescribe the use of this pattern. In their exploration of design choices for architecting visualizations, Tang et al. <ref>Tang, D., C. Stolte, and P. Hanrahan. Design Choices when Architecting Visualizations. IEEE Symposium on Information Visualization (InfoVis), 2003. </ref> also discuss the importance of separating data and visual models. Finally, numerous software frameworks adopt this template
of application structure, including Advizor <ref>Eick, S. G. Visual Discovery and Analysis. IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 6(10). January 2000.</ref>, Improvise <ref>Weaver, C. Building Highly-Coordinated Visualizations In Improvise.

Spdegabrielle: Draft taxonomy being developed to address retrieval of InfoVis works

The ACM classification system barely covers HCI, and fails to support retrieval of InfoVis related works.

There is now a [[Draft taxonomy]] being developed to address this issue.

Please modify or comment as you see fit.
