There are a number of different task taxonomies in InfoVis at different levels of granularity.

Task Taxonomy of Relational Information Displays

by: [Zhang, 1996] based on [Carswell and Wickens, 1988]

There are three major types of display tasks:

  • information retrieval
  • comparison
  • information integration

High-level tasks / purposes / goals of Visualization
