Expressiveness of the data flow and data state models in visualization systems

Published:22 May 2002Publication History

ABSTRACT

Visualization can be viewed as a process that transforms raw data (value) into views. There has been two major category of data process models that have been proposed to model the visualization transformation process. This paper seeks to compare the Data Flow Models and the Data State Models. Specifically, it proves that, in terms of expressiveness, anything that can represented using the Data Flow Model can also be represented using the Data State Model, and vice versa.
