Abstract

There are currently several systems to collect online writing data in keystroke logging. Each of these systems provides reliable and very precise data. Unfortunately, due to the large amount of data recorded, it is almost impossible to analyze except for very limited recordings. In this paper, we propose a representation technique based upon graph theory that provides a new viewpoint to understand the writing process. The current application is aimed at representing the data provided by ScriptLog although the concepts can be applied in other contexts.
