“…3 From a cognitive science perspective, this allows a coherent "mental map" (Freire & Rodríguez, 2006) to be plotted and expanded incrementally. From a semiotic point of view, such an approach taps into the visual-syntactic potential of the methods (Engelhardt, 2006), treating them like verbal sentences or propositions, which could be connected to produce higher levels of representational complexity.…”

Information visualization offers multiple methods to make sense of complex data by graphic representations. Complementing verbal representations, they show rich potential to support cognition and communication in numerous areas of application, including the field of political communication and education. Yet – despite a strong increase in options with regard to accessibility of data, tools, and methods – no conceptual framework or discussion is organizing these emerging visual vocabularies and their possible recombinations up to now. Against this background, we want to discuss the layout principles of existing visualization methods and align them within a coherent framework to allow for a multimodal navigation of modern news and information spaces. On that basis, accompanying ways and means to minimize well-known barriers in the public and political communication realm are taken into consideration.

Vários autores ao longo do tempo propuseram uma gramática ou sintaxe para a organização das representações gráficas. Entende-se representação gráfica como uma expressão da linguagem visual, a qual pode ser analisada no que se refere à sua sintaxe gráfica e à sua interpretação (ENGELHARDT, 2002). A sintaxe da linguagem visual se refere ao sistema de regras da gramática visual que governa a organização espacial dos componentes dentro de uma representação gráfica (ENGELHARDT, 1996). No que concerne à área de saúde, notou-se que a literatura ainda é escassa de instrumentos de análise da representação gráfica ao nível sintático da linguagem visual, em particular voltados para a medicina. Nos cursos de medicina, os discentes, mesmo sem o conhecimento formal sobre a linguagem visual, fazem uso desta em sua rotina de estudos (KUPCZIK, 2021). Os discentes produzem, além de resumos, desenhos e esquemas dos conteúdos tratados nas disciplinas, como mostrado na Figura 1, a seguir. O uso de representações gráficas pelos discentes, visa auxiliar na memorização e aprendizado dos conteúdos das disciplinas, que em sua maioria são extensos e complexos. Assim, pode-se inferir que o uso

“…Yet, when it comes to a macro-cognitive syntheses and analytical tasks across separated data domains and constellations, these methods do not yet readily come together in a bigger picture. In analogy to language-based information processing, they show a well-defined local "visual syntax" (Engelhardt, 2006), which yet remains on the level of single sentences or paragraphs, whereas a visual macro-syntax (or "text-syntax") on how to create more complex representations out of these single views is missing. Speaking from a mental models-perspective, each InfoVis provides valuable local parts (submodels), but the creation of global mental models on a visuo-spatial basis remains a largely unresolved challenge (Schreder et al, 2016).…”

Open government data initiatives provide citizens with access to the information that governments have about their countries (such as data about people, resources, infrastructure, or services) upon which they act. Information visualizations can help to make sense of these complex data and knowledge collections, but are mostly used to shed light on subselections of data only, without coordinated efforts to connect them to bigger pictures up to now. In analogy to linked data initiatives, this article discusses methods and strategies to link information visualizations in the government data realm and thereby to connect widely available local pictures and insights into more coherent global mental models. We expect related developments to provide benefits for communication professions like civic education and political journalism, and to open up enhanced methods for cross-domain exploration and reasoning for (linked) open government data. Thus linked information visualizations aim for supporting students, readers, and citizens to meet a widening range of macro-cognitive challenges, which complex societies are facing in increasing amounts.
