Title
An Integrated Approach to Discovery in Complex Information Spaces
Abstract
As the amount of available data continues to increase, more and more effective means for discovering important patterns and relationships within that data are required. Al- though the power of automated tools continues to increase, we contend that greater gains can be achieved by coordin- ating results from a variety of tools and by enhancing the user's ability to direct the application of these tools. A sys- tem which can rely on multiple modalities for processing in- formation has a distinct benefit in terms of user-confidence in the final results. We set forth an approach which permits a flexible, user-controllable model of the information space within which basic tools can be integrated. The analysis of data, whether it be through visualization or data min- ing, for example, is an exercise in problem-solving and any computer-based tool to support the analysis process should be designed to support problem-solving activities. The pro- cess by which a user can develop and interact with this model is described and the benefits of this approach are dis- cussed. This integration can be extremely useful both for the development of new hypotheses regarding the data and for verification of existing hypotheses.
