“…Liu and Li (2015) build upon Stamper's notion of an organisational semiotics and demonstrate its application to business informatics. Liu and Tan (2014) apply the perspective of organisational semiotics to digital visualisation. Price and Shanks (2005) use the distinctions provided by Peirce in his analysis of the sign to clarify essential differences between data and information.…”

Within this paper, we utilise a delimited area of philosophy to help make sense of a delimited area of design science as it pertains to a class of contemporary information systems. The philosophy is taken from that of Charles Sanders Peirce; the design science is directed at the construction of visual devices in that area known as visual management. The utilisation of such devices within their wider visual management systems we take to be instances of what we refer to as tangible information systems. Tangible information systems use tangible artefacts, such as whiteboards and magnetic tokens, to accomplish information. We particularly use Peircean semiotics to analyse the use of tangible emoticons articulated upon performance boards within a large-scale manufacturing facility. We infer from our analysis of these informative artefacts that certain integrated aspects of Peircean philosophy offers an alternative way of framing notions of a proper design science, design theory, and design artefact for the discipline of information systems.

“…Explanation (Stamper, Liu, Hafkamp, et al 2000) In Liu and Tan (2015) state the process of developing data visualization can be depicted as a shared semiosis where the visual representation is used as a carrier to facilitate the communication between the producers and readers. Not only is it focusing on the artefact which carries the visual representation in the final stage, but also focusing on the process where a reader interprets the visualization.…”

“…Thus, this research, inspired by the three principles from Liu and Tan (2015), is intended to construct a framework for producing data visualization, especially empowering readers to implement abductive reasoning, guiding producers to place interactive functions based on norms and specifying the process of developing data visualization to steps.…”

Data visualization has been widely utilized in various analytic scenarios in the ear of Big Data, especially helping novice readers make sense of a complex dataset with interactive functions. However, due to the insufficient theoretical support for an understanding of the process of developing interactive functions and visual presentations, interactive data visualization tools often offer an interactive playground where readers might be emerged by a huge amount of data, instead of generating the insight on readers' demand. Thus, this paper is intended to construct a process of developing interactive visualization with a specific focus on enabling the interoperation between design and interpretation. Stemmed from organizational semiotics, an abductive process will be portrayed in this paper to interpret the process of developing interactive data visualization. Especially the interactive functions will be employed in an iterative process, where producers can be aware of an answer to readers' information demands on semantic, pragmatic and social levels.

“…Thus far, organisational semiotics research on BI remains limited. The few studies on the subject have focused largely on data visualization [11,13], which is only a component of the final stage of the BI process. As a result, not much is known about BI process in organisational semiotics.…”

This study draws on organisational semiotics and design science methodology informed by abductive reasoning to develop a business intelligence (BI) architecture. Organisational semiotics research has so far paid limited attention to BI in general and its architecture in particular. Moreover, BI research in information systems (IS) focuses largely on either technical or social activities. Organisational semiotics offers frameworks and model which can be used to develop a BI architecture with combined technical and social views. This study therefore develops a BI architecture based on knowledge hierarchy, semiotic framework, and semiotic activity hierarchy. The paper uses a manufacturing company's BI experience as a case study to inform and evaluate the proposed architecture. The study's contribution stems from its development of the organisational semiotics informed BI architecture and its implications for research and practice.
