Interacting with semantics: A user-centered visualization adaptation based on semantics data

Semantically annotated data gain more and more importance in future information acquiring processes. Especially the Linked Open Data (LOD) format has already experienced a great growth. However, the user-interfaces of web-applications mostly do not reflect the added value of semantics data. The following paper describes a new approach of user-centered data-adaptive semantics visualization, which makes use of the advantages of semantics data combined with an adaptive composition of information visualization techniques. It starts with a related work section, where existing LOD systems and information visualization techniques are described. After that, the new approach will bridge the gap between semantically annotated data (LOD) and information visualization and introduces a visualization system that adapts the composition of visualizations based on the underlying data structure. A case study of an example case will conclude this paper.
