A Review on Data Terminology in Visual Analytics Tools

Johanna Schmidt, Milena Vuckovic

2024

Abstract

Recent advances in visualization research and related technologies gave rise to several Visual Analytics tools capable of supporting many aspects of a typical data analytics pipeline. More specifically, these tools are showing a promise of a feature-rich environment offering multiple built-in options related to data loading and data management, which are essential initial steps for any data exploratory challenge. In this paper, we review the terms and terminology used to describe data, data parts, and data handling tasks in eighteen commonly used Visual Analytics applications. Throughout this review, we have observed a general lack of standardization of terminology used to describe all related features. Such lack of standardization may affect the overall application potential and increase the complexity when combining different tools, thus creating a user dependency on a specific solution and impeding knowledge exchange.
