“…It has been used effectively with many internet applications. Stappers and Pasman (1999) focussed on a retrieval results set from a search engine and demonstrated the advantage of visualizing the retrieved documents in the MDS visual space over a linear search-results presentation. Thelwall (2002) examined university relationships through hyperlinks between a pair of university web sites using the MDS method.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate health care consumers' diabetes term usage patterns based on Yahoo!Answers social question and answers (Q&A) forum, identified characteristics and relationships among terms within three pairs of related categories identified from the Q&A log, and revealed users' diabetes term usage patterns. Design/methodology/approach -The Q&A analysis method allowed first-hand investigation of massive data from health care consumers. Visual term clustering analysis across categories was conducted using a multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) visualization method which provides an intuitive and interactive way to explore and discover term association patterns in a visual environment. Closely related categories were identified and corresponding visual term clustering analyses between categories (Sign & Symptom and Organ & Body Part; Diagnosis and Test; and Diagnosis and Medication) as well at the term level were analyzed. Findings -The findings show that there are close relationships between terms in two related categories. Related terms were grouped and patterns were revealed. All the stress values of the MDS analyses fall below 0.10 and RSQ for each of the combined categories is over 0.90 which indicate the investigated terms were well clustered in the visual analyses. Originality/value -The study provides a unique research methodology for similar consumer health research studies. The results of this study offer insight into consumer health term use behavior, and enrich existing thesauri and subject heading lists, enhance diabetes-related web sites or portals, and improve effectiveness of internal search engines.

“…It is no surprise that the MDS method also has been applied to Internet information analysis. Stappers and Pasman (1999) focused on a retrieval results set from a search engine and demonstrated the advantage of visualizing the retrieved documents in the MDS visual space over a linear search‐results presentation. Thelwall (2002) examined university relationships through hyperlinks between a pair of university Web sites using the MDS method.…”

The authors investigated 11 sports-related query keywords extracted from a public search engine query log to better understand sports-related information seeking on the Internet. After the query log contents were cleaned and query data were parsed, popular sports-related keywords were identified, along with frequently co-occurring query terms associated with the identified keywords. Relationships among each sports-related focus keyword and its related keywords were characterized and grouped using multidimensional scaling (MDS) in combination with traditional hierarchical clustering methods. The two approaches were synthesized in a visual context by highlighting the results of the hierarchical clustering analysis in the visual MDS configuration. Important events, people, subjects, merchandise, and so on related to a sport were illustrated, and relationships among the sports were analyzed. A small-scale comparative study of sports searches with and without term assistance was conducted. Searches that used search term assistance by relying on previous query term relationships outperformed the searches without the search term assistance. The findings of this study provide insights into sports information seeking behavior on the Internet. The developed method also may be applied to other query log subject areas.

“…Publicaciones: Pasman (2003); Stappers & Pasman (1999) MDS-interactive permite a los usuarios explorar un espacio de soluciones, permitiéndoles manipular un conjunto de muestras, y visualizar sus relaciones basándose en información contenida en la base de datos. El diálogo es entonces estructurado visualmente en una interfaz de software, apelando a la experiencia y el pensamiento asociativo, los usuarios pueden modificar el conjunto de ejemplos y de los criterios en cuestión y la búsqueda de nuevas muestras, sobre la base de las similitudes y diferencias.…”

This thesis deals with the topic of Industrial Design and the sensory, perceptual and emotional stimuli that people who use the products receive in their user experience. These stimuli, such as the good operation of a tight mechanism, the smoothness of a surface, a suitable noise when closing a door, etc., are captured by the senses, are perceived, and that evokes in users emotions and reactions, generating relationships with objects beyond the basic or practical use, leading to prefer these products among others with similar primary benefits for future purchases, associating it with pleasant experiences, and even evoke his own life experiences through the products.This area, part of the discipline of Industrial Design, but also of Psychology, Marketing, Neuroscience and other concurrent fields, is currently regarded in many different ways: the "Kansei Engineering", the "Emotional Design", the "Design for Experience ", the "Sensory Analysis ", are perspectives and methods to analyze and define this topic, and increasingly more used in large companies. This thesis analyzes various approaches related to these factors in the process of product design and development, and ultimately seeks to define appropriate tools for a better integration of these factors into micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
