Visual metaphors to enhance hypermedia

1999 IEEE International Conference on Information Visualization (Cat. No. PR00210), 2003
The paper argues that whilst hypermedia systems potentially have a major role to play in education, there is the danger that they tend to engender cognitive and navigational overhead in their users, which in turn detracts from their educational value.

Visual Metaphors

2022
Whenever we think about the world – including its concrete and abstract entities – we typically see a series of so-called mental images in front of our eyes that aid us in everyday problem solving and navigating ourselves in the world. Visual metaphors, similarly to their linguistic counterparts, largely build on such images.

Metaphors in Interactive Visual Analytics

Proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction, 2014
We intuitively understand primary metaphors because they spring from our lived experience as humans. This paper explores the role of primary metaphor in interactive visual analytics. We describe and provide examples of several primary metaphors that can be used in designing and communicating visual representations.

Toward the operationalization of visual metaphor

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 2017
Many successful digital interfaces employ visual metaphors to convey features or data properties to users, but the characteristics that make a visual metaphor effective are not well understood. We used a theoretical conception of metaphor from cognitive linguistics to design an interactive system for viewing the citation network of the corpora of ...

Visual Metaphor

2018
Metaphor has recently been reconceptualised as a fundamental part of the human conceptual system. It can hence be expressed in language but also in other modalities and media of communication, including gesture and body language, sound and music, and film and visuals. In spite of this theoretical landslide, however, the wide range of nonverbal metaphor

On Visual Metaphors

The Journal of Turk-Islam World Social Studies
Metaforlarla ilgili çalışmalar, Aristo’nun Retorik isimli eserine kadar götürülmektedir. 20. yüzyılın sonlarına kadar metaforlar üzerine yapılan çalışmalar genel olarak dilsel-sözel alan üzerinden açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. 1980’lerde George Lakoff ve Mark Johnson’un metaforlarla ilgili detaylı teorik bir arka plan sunmaları ile

Dynamic Graph Visualization with Multiple Visual Metaphors

Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction, 2015
Visualizing dynamic graphs is challenging due to the many data dimensions to be displayed such as graph vertices and edges with their attached weights or attributes and the additional time dimension. Moreover, edge directions with multiplicities and the graph topology are also important inherent features.

Visual Metaphors and Aesthetics

2022
This book offers a new definition of metaphor—as an ontological and visual construction, whose roots are external visual forms, and its motivation is our attachment to forms. This definition, which Michalle Gal names “visualist,” challenges the ruling conceptualist theory of metaphors and places a new emphasis on how we experience rather than ...

Towards the conceptions of visualization language and visualization metaphor

Proceedings IEEE Symposia on Human-Centric Computing Languages and Environments (Cat. No.01TH8587), 2002
In this article the conceptions of visualization language and visualization metaphor are suggested. The structure of a metaphor and the some conceptions linked with visualization languages are considered. The approaches to evaluating of visualization systems based on the adequacy in visualization are suggested.
