A Web-Based Approach to Interactive Visualization in Context

This paper proposes a framework for easily integrating and controlling information visualization (infoVis) components within web pages to create powerful interactive "live" documents, or LiveDocs. The framework includes a set of infoVis components which can be placed and linked within a standard HTML document, initialized to focus on key analysis results, and directly manipulated by readers to explore and analyze data further. In addition, authors can script the manipulation of views at the user interaction level (e.g., to set view options, select items within a view, or animate a view). We illustrate our approach with a sample analysis of a real-life data set. Keywords web-based information visualization, live documents, authoring visualization web pages
