Challenges in graph-based relational data visualization
نویسنده
چکیده
During recent years we have witnessed a growing trend toward the use of visual interfaces to view and query databases. The graph topovisual formalism is particularly well-suited for depicting relational data. The vertices of a directed graph represent a set of entities, while arcs represent relationships among the entities. This paper studies the functional requirements of a hypothetical graph visualization facility (GVF) by surveying past work in related areas and by describing challenging problems that must be addressed before such a system can be realized. Our contribution, therefore, is twofold: we present a unique holistic approach, which, in turn, gives rise to a number of interesting research problems.

Graph drawing deals with the problem of communicating the structure of relational data through diagrams, or drawings. Graphs with vertices and edges are typically used to model relational data. The vertices represent the objects (or data points) and the edges represent the relationships between the objects. The main problem in relational visualization is to display the data in a meaningful fash...
