Abstract

In this paper we reframe the creation of information visualizations as a kind of interface design, where visualizations provide people with an interface onto a dataset in such a way that they can generate, understand, and ultimately communicate interpretations of the data in the form of narratives to other members of given social settings. The paper describes a three stage create--interpret--capture process [Figure 1] for the design of information visualizations. The work references existing interaction design patterns, interfaces, and theories of organizational behaviour that serve to illustrate the approach we have used.
