MultiNode-Explorer: A Visual Analytics Framework for Generating Web-based Multimodal Graph Visualizations
Abstract
We propose MultiNode-Explorer, a visual analytics framework that is capable of transforming multidimensional datasets into an entity-relationship (E-R) model and visualizing the data as node-link diagrams. The framework accepts an E-R schema, a set of relational data tables, and an interface specification file, and generates a multimodal and multivariate graph and a corresponding interactive applet for viewing the graph in a web browser. We show examples for a large research organization, a visual search engine for a Wiki, and for NSF funding data.
