Abstract
Visualization is a key concept when presenting search results. Sometimes a bad visualization leads to a wrong decision. In many cases the building of a visual representation for a given set of data is fixed a priori by the developer with no chance for the user to adjust or change it. The fact is that not all the users have the same interests on the same data. In this work we present a Domain-Specific Language to develop visual patterns that allows the user choosing the desired visualization for a given data search result. An example is used to drive the explanations.
