Towards an Unified Visualization Ontology
Overview on studied literature
In following an overview of studied terminologies, taxonomies and ontologies related to visualization is given which is foundation of the study of concepts and relations existing in visualization domain. The table also summarizes at which area the work focuses as well it mentions their level of formalization (LF). We distinguish between the fields of data (Da), domain (Do), graphical vocabulary (Vo), graphic representation (Re), task or interaction (Ta), user (Us) as well as System (Sy).
