Understanding Visualisation: A Formal Foundation using Category Theory and Semiotics
This article combines the vocabulary of semiotics and category theory to provide a formal analysis of information visualisation. It shows how familiar processes of information visualisation fit the semiotic frameworks of both Saussure and Peirce, and extends these structures using the tools of category theory to provide a general framework for understanding information visualisation in practice...
متن کاملPractical Semiotics : A Formal Theory
We address the development of a practical theory of semiotics within the context of the IEEE Standard Upper Ontology effort. The theory has the form of a set of predicates and other terms that are axiomatized in first order logic. We argue that this theory is su fficient for representing many of the subtleties of semantic representation that are likely to arise in the cont ext of interoperabili...
متن کاملImproving Mutual Understanding of Development Artifacts: A Semiotics-Based Approach
The success of information system development projects is critically dependent on arriving at a shared understanding of the desired outcome by all project stakeholders. To communicate such understanding among stakeholders, development artifacts such as design specifications, prototypes, and user stories are created. This paper presents a new project management tool to measure and ensure common ...
متن کاملA new approach for data visualization problem
Data visualization is the process of transforming data, information, and knowledge into visual form, making use of humans’ natural visual capabilities which reveals relationships in data sets that are not evident from the raw data, by using mathematical techniques to reduce the number of dimensions in the data set while preserving the relevant inherent properties. In this paper, we formulated d...
متن کاملTranscending Semiotics: Toward Understanding Design for Understanding
In this paper I intend to examine several epistemological difficulties one quite naturally encounters within traditional semiotics, especially when trying to apply it to design (industrial design and product semantics in particular).
