Taxonomy

Could these be added;

1. Shneiderman B. The eyes have it: A task by data type taxonomy for information visualizations, In Proceedings IEEE Visual Languages , pages 336-343, Boulder, CO, Sept 1996.
2. Ed H. Chi, A Taxonomy of Visualization Techniques Using the Data State Reference Model, Proceedings of the IEEE Symposium on Information Vizualization 2000, p.69, October 09-10, 2000
3. A Taxonomy of Information Visualization User-Interfaces By Chris Northl, Human-Computer Interaction Lab, University of Maryland at College Park. http://www.lirmm.fr/InfoViz/ASEval/References/shneiderman.php
4. OLIVE: On-line Library of Information Visualization Environments. http://otal.umd.edu/Olive/

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.

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.)

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.
