Abstract

This paper firstly reviews the related visualization taxonomies, and discusses the need for ontology for visualization. It then presents the design of the ontology for visualization, which aims to provide more semantics for the discovery of visualization services, and gives the detailed description of the ontology's components. In the end, the paper illustrates how to use the ontology in the portal for discovery visualization services, which is being developed.
