Task taxonomy for graph visualization

Note

A graph-specific visualization consists of Nodes, Links, Paths, Graphs, Connected Components, Clusters, and Groups. This paper discussed the possible tasks to examine the tool based on the given objects.

The low-level tasks, included:

  • Retrieve value
  • Filter
  • Compute the Derived Value
  • Find Extremum
  • Sort
  • Determine Range
  • Characterize Distribution
  • Find Anomalies
  • Cluster
  • Correlate
Tasks which commonly encountered while analyzing graph data: 
  • Topology-based Tasks: adjacency (direct connection), accessibility (direct or indirect connection), common connection, connectivity
  • Attribute-based Tasks: On the Nodes, On the Links
  • Browsing Tasks: Follow path, Revisit
Some more high-level tasks: 
  • compare two web graph for the difference, e.g. two recipe graph. 
  • nodes duplication
  • some tasks need users' interpretation
