Abstract

An emerging trend in Web computing aims at collecting and integrating distributed data. For instance, various communities recently have build large repositories of structured and interlinked data sets from different Web sources. However, up to date there is virtually no support in navigating, visualising or even analysing structured date sets of this size appropriately. This paper describes novel rendering techniques enabling a new level of visual analytics combined with interactive exploration principles. The underlying visualisation rationale is driven by the principle of providing detail information with respect to qualitative as well as quantitative aspects on user demand while offering an overview at any time. By means of our prototypical implementation and two real-world data sets we show how to answer several data specific tasks by interactive visual exploration.
