Abstract
Information visualization and knowledge visualization use comparable techniques and methods. Based on mapping rules, resource objects are translated into visual objects as meaningful representations, offering easy and comprehensive access. Whereas information visualization displays data objects and relations, knowledge visualization maps knowledge elements and ontologies. Bridging this gap must start at concept level. Our approach is to design a declarative language for describing and defining information visualization techniques. The information visualization modeling language (IVML) provides a means to formally represent, note, preserve, and communicate structure, appearance, behavior, and functionality of information visualization techniques and applications in a standardized way. The anticipated benefits comprise both application and theory.
