This paper introduces Imago, an environment that supports the prototyping, evaluation and transitioning of information visualisation approaches into practice. The approach is based on the use of an underlying semantic model of contextual and visualisation knowledge and integrated evaluation capabilities to aid the transitioning process. We discuss the use of Imago in relation to our experiences in researching and providing information visualisation approaches for command and control activities.
