Information Retrieval across Information Visualization
This article presents the analytical and retrieval
potential of visualization maps. Obtained maps were tested as
information retrieval (IR) interface. The collection of documents
derived from the ACM Digital Library was mapped on the sphere
surface. Proposed approach uses nonlinear similarity of
documents by comparing ascribed thematic categories and
thereby development of semantic connections between them. For
domain analysis the newest IT trend - Cloud Computing was
monitored across time period 2007-2009. Visualization reflects
evolution, dynamics and relational fields of cloud technology as
well as its paradigmatic property
Visualizing the scientific information nowadays: the problems and challenges
In recent years, a comparably fresh research field — information visualization has become commonly available for the researchers of all specialties. Information or knowledge maps play a role of interface for the analysis and intensive study of scientific community and knowledge domains development. The popularity of visualization techniques and interdisciplinary framework has resulted in many problems that have not been solved since the field had emerged. The article introduces the instrumental problems and challenges in this field. Exposing the functions information visualization allows to understand the difficulties and barriers within the whole visualizing process. A particular example of insight into the Polish science map is considered in the context of a new knowledge
