The objective of this conference is to explore
cutting edge advances and techniques in the visualization of
knowledge across various fields of application and their
potential impact on developments in the more main stream
bibliographic and documentary classifications.
We invite overviews, illustrations and analysis of
approaches to and models of the visualization of knowledge that
can help advance the application of documentary and
bibliographic classifications in information and knowledge
discovery. We welcome high quality, innovative research
contributions from various fields of application including:
- visualization of knowledge orders (e.g. scientific
taxonomies, Wikipedia)
- visualization of collection content, large datasets
- visualization of knowledge classifications for the
purpose of managing the classifications and working with them
- visualization of knowledge to support interactive
searching, user browsing behaviour (IR) and classification as an
aid to information navigation
Specific topics may include:
1. Issues and challenges in visualization of
conceptual structures and knowledge in general, e.g. development
of knowledge over time, shift in knowledge structures (dynamic
knowledge), interactions between knowledge structures,
socio-cultural issues, technical challenges (incl. animation,
simulation)
2. Knowledge visualization models and metaphors:
theory, methods, overviews, analysis
3. Visualization of classification in: information
searching and browsing (e.g. search expansion, result display);
visualization of knowledge in relation to user information needs
4. Presentation and visualization related to specific
types of knowledge classification structure (e.g. faceted and
enumerative hierarchies, polyhierarchical and/or aspect
classifications etc.)
5. Classification as an aid in presenting and
navigating large datasets, or providing an overview of
collection content for resource discovery or management purposes
6. Visualization as an aid to cross-collection,
cross-language, cross-vocabulary knowledge browsing
7. Relationships between classification data formats
and classification visualization
We invite two kinds of contributions: conference
papers and posters. Paper proposals should be sunmitted in the
form of an extended abstract (1000-1200 words including
references for papers and 500-600 words for posters). A
submission form is provided on the conference website.
Conference proceedings will be published by Ergon
Verlag and will be distributed at the conference.
