abstract = {Visual Analytics enables solving complex and analytical tasks by combining automated data analytics methods and interactive visualizations. The complexity of tasks, the huge amount of data and the complex visual representation may overstrain the users of such systems. Intelligent and adaptive visualizations system show already promising results to bridge the gap between human and the complex visualization. We introduce in this paper a revised version of layer-based visual adaptation model that considers the human perception and cognition abilities. The model is then used to enhance the most popular Visual Analytics model to enable the development of Intelligent Visual Analytics systems.},

abstract = {Policy design requires the investigation of various data in several design steps for making the right decisions, validating, or monitoring the political environment. The increasing amount of data is challenging for the stakeholders in this domain. One promising way to access the “big data” is by abstracted visual patterns and pictures, as proposed by information visualization. This chapter introduces the main idea of information visualization in policy modeling. First abstracted steps of policy design are introduced that enable the identification of information visualization in the entire policy life-cycle. Thereafter, the foundations of information visualization are introduced based on an established reference model. The authors aim to amplify the incorporation of information visualization in the entire policy design process. Therefore, the aspects of data and human interaction are introduced, too. The foundation leads to description of a conceptual design for social data visualization, and the aspect of semantics plays an important role.},

ICT is rarely included in most of the today's applied policymaking processes. Other process definitions with a focus on ICT inclusion in policy modeling still exist, but they are not well defined. This chapter gives an overview of the existing policy modeling process types and explains their major foci and how they consider ICT and the practical process in public authorities. Afterwards, based on these descriptions, the general requirements on a new ICT-oriented policy modeling process that allows the inclusion of ICT into a valid and useful process for public authorities is given.},

The FUPOL Policy Lifecycle is based on 6 stages, which are further divided into 8 main tasks. These main tasks are split up into 19 subtasks to provide a very detailed policy lifecycle structure. The detailed breakdown allows one to link each task to various technical features, such as opinion maps, policy indicator dashboard, knowledge database, and simulation and visualization tools. The chapter further argues that the methodology applied is future proof and has the potential of accommodating new technologies in the future.},

Since e-government among other e-related terms is a widely (interpreted) term, it is sometimes challenging to understand the objective and goals of an initiative. Therefore, in this chapter, the authors introduce and explain most e-government related terms. Even more, they outline some interesting initiatives and implementations to explain the benefits of using ICT in the government domain. Concrete activities are aligned to the terms to explain their practical use in a better way. The authors conclude with several challenges that arise when thinking of the implementation of e-government services. Overall, this chapter should give a good overall view of e-government and the related issues.},

abstract = {Visual analytics is an interdisciplinary field of research at the boundary between data mining, statistics and visualization. Patterns and relations in the data complement a semantic representation of knowledge on a lower level of abstraction. One important goal of visual analytics is to find relations hidden in vast amounts of data, which can be turned into useful knowledge. Analysis needs to be ''visual'', because human's visual cognitive abilities are important for the identification and refinement of the analytical process. Further the results of the analysis have to be presented in a way to match the user's perspective on the proposed task. However, typical users are not experts in statistics or data mining. The challenge of visual analytics is to keep domain experts in charge of the analytical process while reducing the workload due to the complexity of the techniques. While search and analysis usually are mentioned in different contexts, they are highly interdependent processes. In fact, every exploratory analysis is a search for new knowledge. In turn, this knowledge can be used to refine future searches by introducing new concepts or relations to draw from. This article will show how automated and visual methods can be combined to connect knowledge artifacts on multiple levels of abstraction.},

abstract = {Information is an indispensable resource today. Access to and interaction with information play more and more a key role, whereas the amount of accessible information increases. Semantic technologies provide new solutions to structure this important property. One promising way to access the complex semantic structures and the huge amount of data is visualization. Today's Semantic Visualization systems offer primarily proprietary solutions for predefined and known users and usage scenarios. The adaptation to other scenarios and users is often cost- and time-consuming. This article presents a novel model for a fully adaptable and adaptive Semantics Visualization framework. Starting with the introduction of a new visualization model, the implementation of this model will be described. The article concludes with selected advantages of the described visualization technology.},

abstract = {Information and knowledge are growing permanently and represent valuable resources for many enterprises. The efficient access to knowledge of an enterprise like expertise, contact persons, project and milestone plans, etc. may simplify business processes and lead to time and cost savings. Semantic technologies offer numerous possibilities to enrich data with background information about their meaning. Such semantic relations do not only lead to more efficient search in larger information repositories but they also assist the user in diverse processes like editing, annotation and processing of information. In addition they offer new means of access and transfer of knowledge. Each information unit is linked to other units in the same domain, which allows faster search and offers a way of information access that is close to the habits of humans, i.e. the creation of new knowledge and its association to already existing knowledge. This approach of the whole THESEUS research program was also the basis of the Core Technology Cluster of THESEUS.},
