“…The visualization of the search results in semantic search engines improves the understanding of data and supports the user in assessing search results. There is a constant need for finding actionable evidence of measurable benefits that will encourage the adoption of visualization [23]. Visualization can offer to the user a different perspective to view data, which may result to new knowledge discoveries.…”

“…Researchers of the field stress the need for visualization techniques that help users "in effectively searching and locating task-relevant information elements" [25]. Figure 1 presents an overview of several classification schemas that have been developed, each one covering selected facets of (information) visualization [23]. Shneiderman supported that the type of information visualization depends on both the data type and the demands of the users.…”

Semantic search engines improve the accuracy of search results by understanding the meaning and context of terms as they appear in web documents. But do they also improve the presentation of search results? We discuss this research question and attempt to address it by evaluating two semantic search engines: Sig.ma and Kngine. Our analysis is based on the theory and methods of explorative evaluation studies, the inspection evaluation approach in information visualization, user-oriented evaluation studies, and on quantitative data analysis. Our main conclusion is that visualization used in semantic search engines improves the understanding of search results and the overall search experience by exploiting the semantics of web data.

“…In fact, as pointed out by Jaeschke et al [34], several authors have proposed models dealing with specific parts of the information visualization, such as the tasks that can be performed [4,5,14,72,74,90], the visualization techniques that are available to display information [62,69,88], or the visual features used to encode the characteristics of the data being displayed [93], among others. However, even if all these models are interrelated, nobody has proposed a holistic model encompassing all of them.…”

Nowadays, visualization of large amounts of data has become a key issue for processing data in many fields. This paper presents a conceptual model for describing information visualization systems. This conceptual model has been represented using the Unified Modeling Language, therefore it takes advantage of the understandability, unambiguity, flexibility, and adaptability provided by this notation. The proposed model outlines concepts such as visualization workspace, device, visual representation and its features, information visualization task and its effects on visualization, inter-item relationship, etc. The main applications of the proposed model are: (1) to guide the development of a new visualization system by specifying which are the main concepts that have to be considered and how they relate to each other; (2) to characterize or describe an already existing visualization system; and (3) to thoroughly compare existing visualization systems. To illustrate the use and applications of the model, several examples of information visualization systems are provided.
