Bridging the Gap of Domain and Visualization Experts with a Liaison
Abstract
We introduce the role Liaison for design study projects. With considerable expertise in visualization and the application domain, a Liaison can help to foster richer and more effective interdisciplinary communication in problem characterization, design, and evaluation processes. We characterize this role, provide a list of tasks of Liaison and visualization experts, and discuss concrete benefits and potential limitations based on our experience from multiple design studies. To illustrate our contributions we use as an example a molecular biology design study.
