Abstract

The range of information visualization research efforts and taxonomies present a confusing array of techniques and dimensions for analysis. In this paper, we build upon an existing model to create a framework for comparing and analyzing previous research. This analysis has several benefits: first, it suggests refinements to the operator model; second, it shows where previous research can be applied to the design of new visualization systems and toolkits; and third, it allows us to compare different taxonomies to find where they overlap or lack dimensionality.
