Abstract
Semantic interaction consists in interacting with the data by means of the image that represents it. In this paper, we analyze the possibility to add semantic interaction to a data-flow oriented visualization applications used in enterprise environments. For this purpose, we discuss a case study from the perspective of the type of interaction supported. We also review recent innovative approaches that attempt to use ontologies to link representation with meaning, using it to enhance user interaction and comprehension.
