A Context- and User-Driven Configuration System for the Visualization of Structures in Knowledge Management
In: Proceedings of Visualization, Imaging, and Image Processing (VIIP) 2004 . Edited by . Marbella, Spain.
Abstract
User specific presentation of information is an important factor in personal and organizational knowledge management. Knowledge workers are very familiar with the structures on their workplace. It is easier for them to see information (e.g., query results) if it is related to their own structures. Information objects may be of very different form ranging from text documents to process models. Up to now visualizations are mostly hand tailored to specific problems. Visualization metaphors are hard-coded for the application. An adequate visualization for a knowledge worker adapts to the user’s visualization needs in different situations, considers his context as well as his intention, and provides a customizable implementation of a number of visualization metaphors. We present a flexible configuration system for problem-specific visualizations.
