Current browser-based navigation is a universal and powerful tool, but lacks of three useful features: overview of the global website structure, efficient history browsing and an alternative to link-link navigation. By combining Visualization on-demand (Vizod) with an interactive virtual globe, we tackled these issues by means of multi-resolutions maps displayed according to user's interactions and preferences. We provided in this way a contextual hypertext navigation, each page being assigned locations and links on top a a virtual map. We built up and performed experiments of a prototype providing a smooth, appealing and promising complement to browser-based navigation.

RESUMEDans cet article, nous nous intéressonsà la création et au partage de visualisations d'information. Notre approche est de considérer la visualisation d'information comme le résultat d'un flot de traitement de données, constitué d'un assemblage de services web qui ont vérifié des règles syntaxiques et sémantiques. Afin de faciliter la composition de ces services, et donc de créer des visualisations d'information, nous introduisons mashviz, une interface de programmation visuelle destinée aux concepteurs de visualisations, ainsi qu'aux utilisateurs pour le partage et l'annotation de ces visualisations. Nous discutons les premières visualisations créées et leur partage, puis donnons les prochainesétapes de nos travaux, notamment l'évaluation par l'usage. ABSTRACTIn this article, we are interested in information visualisations creation and sharing. Our approach is to consider information visualisation as a dataflow, issued from web services compositions which held both syntaxic and semantic rules. To ease service composition, we introduce mashviz, a visual programming interface aimed to both designers and users, to share and annote visualisations. We discuss our early created visualisations, and give clues about our next steps, such as evaluation by usage.

A web-based interface to design information visualization

Information Visualization is a challenging field, enabling a better use of humans' visual and cognitive system, to make sense of very large datasets. This paper aims at improving the current Information Visualizations design workflow, by enabling a better cooperation among programmers, designers and users, in a one-to-one and community oriented fashion. Our contribution is a web-based interface, to create visualization flows that can be edited and shared, between actors within communities. We detail a real case study where programmers, designers and users successfully worked together to quickly design and improve an interactive image visualization interface, based on images similarities.
