The Information Search Process • Recognize an information need • Define and understand needs • Choose a search system • Formulate a query • Execute search • Examine results • Extract information • Reflect / Iterate / Stop (Marchionini, 1997)
Information Retrieval Process • Recognize an information need • Define and understand needs • Choose a search system • Formulate a query • Execute search • Examine results • Extract information • Reflect / Iterate / Stop (Marchionini, 1997)
Information Visualization (InfoVis) • Recognize an information need • Define and understand needs • Choose a search system • Formulate a query • Execute search • Examine results • Extract information • Reflect / Iterate / Stop (Marchionini, 1997)
Definitions Scientific visualization: • Involves continuous variables, volumes, and surfaces Information visualization: • Involves more categorical variables, and the discovery of patterns, trends, clusters, outliers, and gaps in large data sets. (Shneiderman & Plaisant, 2005)
Definitions Information visualization: • Involves compact graphical presentations and user interfaces to interactively manipulate large data sets • Allows users asnwers questions they did not they had • Also know as visual data mining (Shneiderman & Plaisant, 2005)
Definitions Information visualization assumes that: • Users scan, recognize, and recall images rapidly • Users can detect subtle changes in size, color, shape, movement or texture (Shneiderman & Plaisant, 2005)
InfoVis Main Tasks • Overview • Zoom • Filter • Details on demand • Relate • History • Extract (Shneiderman & Plaisant, 2005)
InfoVis Main Tasks Overview • Users should be able to obtain a general view of the entire collection Features: • Fisheye view • Dynamic filed-of-view box (Shneiderman & Plaisant, 2005)
InfoVis Main Tasks Zoom • Users should be able to look at details of items of interest Features: • Zoom focus (content, context) • Zoom factor (position, shape) (Shneiderman & Plaisant, 2005)
InfoVis Main Tasks Filter • Users should be able to filter items of interest. Features: • Eliminating unwanted items • Sliders, bottons, menus (Shneiderman & Plaisant, 2005)
InfoVis Main Tasks Provide details on demand • Users should be able to get details from an item or group of items of interest Features: • Browsing, pop-up windows (Shneiderman & Plaisant, 2005)
InfoVis Main Tasks Relate • Users should be able to relate items or groups within the collection Features: • Visual displays by proximity, by shape, or by color coding (Shneiderman & Plaisant, 2005)
InfoVis Main Tasks History • Users should be able to keep a history of actions to support undo, replay, and progressive refinement Features: • Search terms • Search sequences (Shneiderman & Plaisant, 2005)
InfoVis Main Tasks Extract • Users should be able to extract, manipulate and save the item or set of items obtained from the collection Features: • MyDocument Folders • E-mail (Shneiderman & Plaisant, 2005)
