ABSTRACT
An emerging trend in Web computing aims at collecting and integrating distributed data. For instance, various communities recently have build large repositories of structured and interlinked data sets from different Web sources. However, up to date there is virtually no support in navigating, visualising or even analysing structured date sets of this size appropriately. This paper describes novel rendering techniques enabling a new level of visual analytics combined with interactive exploration principles. The underlying visualisation rationale is driven by the principle of providing detail information with respect to qualitative as well as quantitative aspects on user demand while offering an overview at any time. By means of our prototypical implementation and two real-world data sets we show how to answer several data specific tasks by interactive visual exploration.

Realizing XML Driven Algorithm Visualization
In this paper we describe work in progress on JHAVE-II, a new generation of the client-server based algorithm visualization system JHAVE. We believe this to be the first algorithm visualization system to be totally XML driven. We describe the XML ...
Algorithm 420: hidden-line plotting program [J6]
HIDE produces a two-dimensional representation of a surface or figure by plotting segments of a succession of curves; each curve is plotted where it is not hidden by any of the curves previously plotted (that is, where it does not fall below any of them ...
A Model and Framework for Visualization Exploration
Visualization exploration is the process of extracting insight from data via interaction with visual depictions of that data. Visualization exploration is more than presentation; the interaction with both the data and its depiction is as important as ...
