Modeling Users for Adaptive Semantics Visualizations

Conference paper
Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNCS, volume 6766)

Abstract

The automatic adaptation of information visualization systems to the requirements of users plays a key-role in today’s research. Different approaches from both disciplines try to face this phenomenon. The modeling of user is an essential part of a user-centered adaptation of visualization. In this paper we introduce a new approach for modeling users especially for semantic visualization systems. The approach consists of a three dimensional model, where semantic data, user and visualization are set in relation in different abstraction layer.
