Title
A Frame Representation Of User Requirements For Automated Data Visualization
Abstract
We propose a new visualization system that automatically draws a graph from a large amount of numerical data corresponding to a user's requirement. The system has the following functions: to understand the user's requirement, to select the necessary data from a datatable, to convert and aggregate the selected data to a suitable granularity, and to visualize the data with an appropriate graphical style. In this paper, we introduce a semantic frame in order to formally deal with the user's requirement. The semantic frame consists of two subframes: one is mainly for selecting and restructuring data, and the other is mainly for choosing an appropriate graph-type and emphasizing focal characteristics. We also explain an aggregation algorithm for making the necessary datatable. With this system, a user only inputs his/her requirement described in a natural language, and then he/she is able to get an appropriate graph from an enormous amount of data even if the data granularity is not well suited to the requirement.
