The collection and organization of information is an important step for showing important information to interested people. But the usage of such semantic-based data sources depends on effective and efficient information visualizations. Currently different kinds of visualizations in general and visualization metaphors do exist. Many of them are also applied for semantic data source, but often they are designed for semantic web experts and neglecting the normal user and his perception of an easy useable visualization. This kind of user needs less information, but rather a reduced qualitative view on the data. These two aspects of large amount of existing data and one for normal users easy to understand visualization is often not reconcilable. In this paper we create a concept for a visualization to show a bigger set of information to such normal users without overstraining them, because of layer-based data visualization, next to an integration of a Focus and Context metaphor. |

1. | Kawa Nazemi; Christoph Hornung Intuitive Authoring on Web: A User-Centered Software Design Approach Konferenz Proceedings of ED-Media 2008, The Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), 2008. Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Schlagwörter: Human-computer interaction (HCI), Intuitive interaction, Prototyping, Software development process, User interfaces @conference{C34-P-19891, To motivate users to work with computer-based systems, to enhance their usage frequency, and to avoid that users get frustrated while working with computer-based systems, it is necessary to respond to the users as much as possible. User-centered software approaches try to assume all the wishes and demands of users. This paper presents a step-by-step introduction to a user-centered software development process. First, a definition of the term "intuitive" in the context of software development will be given. Furthermore, the development process will be explained as a combination of existing user-centered design processes. The implementation of an authoring tool in the European UNITE project, which uses the presented design approach, gives an insight into the development process and the results of the design approach. |
