论文摘要
数据可视化是以前所未有的速度在网络上创建和共享的，在生成和数字化后，提出了新的需求和问题，用于处理和分析可视化。但是，现有的形式主义专注于单个可视化而不是多个可视化，这使得执行分析和聚类可视化等分析任务具有挑战性。通过对先前工作的系统分析，我们将与可视化相关的任务抽象成数学运算符，例如联合，并提出了可视化操作的设计空间。我们通过开发ComputableViz来实现设计，该库支持多个可视化规范操作。为了证明其有用性和可扩展性，我们提出了有关处理和分析可视化的多种用法方案，例如生成可视化嵌入并自动使可视化访问。最后，我们讨论了管理和利用网络上大规模可视化的研究机会和挑战。
Data visualizations are created and shared on the web at an unprecedented speed, raising new needs and questions for processing and analyzing visualizations after they have been generated and digitized. However, existing formalisms focus on operating on a single visualization instead of multiple visualizations, making it challenging to perform analysis tasks such as sorting and clustering visualizations. Through a systematic analysis of previous work, we abstract visualization-related tasks into mathematical operators such as union and propose a design space of visualization operations. We realize the design by developing ComputableViz, a library that supports operations on multiple visualization specifications. To demonstrate its usefulness and extensibility, we present multiple usage scenarios concerning processing and analyzing visualization, such as generating visualization embeddings and automatically making visualizations accessible. We conclude by discussing research opportunities and challenges for managing and exploiting the massive visualizations on the web.
