“…In developing theories of visualization, much effort has been made in formulating categorizations and taxonomies (e.g., [3,60,73]). Some 25 different proposals are listed in [14,15]. In addition, a number of conceptual models have been proposed, including object-oriented model by Silver [55], feature extraction and representation by van Walsum et al [67], visualization exploration by Jankun-Kelly et al [38], distributed cognition model by Liu et al [43], predictive data-centered theory by Purchase et al [48], Visualization Transform Design Model by Purchase et al [48], cognition model for visual analytics by Green et al [30], sensemaking and model steering by Endert et al [21], modelling visualization using semiotics and category theory by Vickers et al [65], composition of visualization tasks by Brehmer and Munzner [9], and visual embedding by Demiralp et al [20].…”
