Visualizing the Evolution of a Subject Domain: A Case Study

We explore the potential of information visualization techniques in enhancing existing methodologies for domain analysis and modeling. In this case study, we particularly focus on visualizing the evolution of the hypertext field based on author co-citation patterns, including the use of a sliding-window scheme to generate a series of annual snapshots of the domain structure, and a factorreferenced color-coding scheme to highlight predominant specialties in the field. CR Categories and Subject Descriptors: I.3.7 [Computer Graphics]: Three-Dimensional Graphics and Realism - Virtual Reality; H.3.7 [Digital Libraries]: Dissemination.
