Visualizing Provenance using Comics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Understanding how a piece of data was produced, where it was stored, and by whom it was accessed, is crucial information in many processes. To understand the trace of data, the provenance of that data can be recorded and analyzed. But it is sometimes hard to understand this provenance information, especially for people who are not familiar with software or computer science. To close this gap, we present a visualization technique for data provenance using comics strips. Each strip of the comic represents an activity of the provenance graph, for example, using an app, storing or retrieving data on a cloud service, or generating a diagram. The comic strips are generated automatically using recorded provenance graphs. These provenance comics are intended to enable people to understand the provenance of their data and realize crucial points more easily.

Visualizing the Provenance of Personal Data Using Comics
Personal health data is acquired, processed, stored, and accessed using a variety of different devices, applications, and services. These are often complex and highly connected. Therefore, use or misuse of the data is hard to detect for people, if they are not capable to understand the trace (i.e., the provenance) of that data. We present a visualization technique for personal health data prove...
متن کاملInProv: Visualizing Provenance Graphs with Radial Layouts and Time-Based Hierarchical Grouping
In provenance research, the large scale of data sets often complicates analysis and understanding. One solution is visualization, a tool that enables scientists and analysts to understand large data sets. The standard format for visualizing provenance is the node-link diagram. However, while effective for understanding local activity, the node-link diagram fails to offer a high-level summary of...
متن کاملComics-Like Motion Depiction from Stereo
In this paper, we present an algorithm to depict motion in comics-like form, with an artistic drawn-like representation of the scene, from a stereo image sequence. The input to the algorithm is a natural scene, along with a user-defined set of parameters that define the tone and stylistic properties of the image to be produced. The algorithm uses a dense disparity map, computed from the input s...
متن کاملApproaches for Exploring and Querying Scientific Workflow Provenance Graphs
While many scientific workflow systems track and record data provenance, few tools have been developed that provide convenient and effective ways to access and explore this information. Two important ways for provenance information to be accessed and explored is through browsing (i.e., visualizing and navigating data and process dependencies) and querying (e.g., to select certain portions of pr...
متن کاملCollaboration through comics
This paper examines the role of design comics within business analysis. We first consider background to the use of comics within design work. This leads us to collate a number of advantages to using design comics as an intermediate and user-centric representation within acts of business analysis. We then describe our own use of design comics for making sense of socio-technical organisation and ...
