iCity World Café 2018
A presentation and discussion of the Compara and VIZLAND prototypes.

Compara

Compara is an intuitive interactive and searchable index that visualizes the attributes of software from a wide-range of applications and technologies.

System Map

A taxonomy spreadsheet is exported to comma seperated values (csv) and converted to the JSON file format.

Inspired by Trees

As the spreadsheet maintains a growing hierarchy, we are inspired by use of the to maintain the original hierarchy.


Adapting a Bipartite Comparison

The provided the simplest and most user-friendly way to have users quickly see the users and tasks associated with said software.

The Combined Result

The result of the research led to the making of a tree-diagram/bipartite graph.


VIZLAND

What is VIZLAND? VIZLAND (the VisualIZation LANDscape): aspires to map a multitude of libraries that define data visualization types, their functions, their representational form, shapes, analytic capabilities, and descriptions, and making them queryable through a web interface.

Prototype v.4

What can VIZLAND look like? Version 4 of the prototype suggests a Meteor Cloud concept

Prototype v.5

What can VIZLAND look like? Version 5 is inspired by the network graph and its use in visualizing ontologies.

Discussion
