KNOVA: INTRODUCING A REFERENCE MODEL FOR KNOWLEDGE-BASED VISUAL ANALYTICS

Stefan Flöring, H.-Jürgen Appelrath

Abstract

When creating interactive applications for data exploration three major challenges can be identified: The integration of heterogeneous data sources at runtime, the integration of suitable visualization methods and the availability of interaction methods which enable domain experts to (implicitly) apply their expert knowledge in the knowledge driven exploration process. To address these challenges we introduce the KnoVA (Knowledge-Based Visual Analytics) reference model, which allows for generating a description of visualization methods, interaction methods and data sources. We then outline how this model can be useful to create knowledge based visual analytics systems in a model driven software development process.
