Visualization

Abstract

Visual language systems are electronic artifacts that provide information in a graphical and dynamical way. In this article we propose an approach for visual language system specification based on visual alphabets and grammars where XML documents and schemas are specialized to specify visual language systems. In addition, we define how to manipulate and extract visual language information from these documents and schemas through XML resources. This approach was formally specified and as a proof of concept we implement our ideas in a visual language system generator.
