Abstract

Question and answer communities are an integral part of the web, enabling individuals to find answers to difficult technical questions while reducing the need for companies to host expensive technical support centres. Developing and maintaining these communities is a challenge given how online communities can scale considerably and are subject to continuous change. In this article, we present two case studies in which we investigate how visual analytics could be designed to support different online question and answer communities. In the first study, we explore how collaborative visual analytics can encourage analysis and conversation in the Super User online community while in the second study we investigate how visual analytics can be designed to support a strategic approach to online community management at Symantec. Our findings suggest that visualisation promotes discussion and reflection but does not readily produce actionable or repeatable insights. More effective solutions require a deeper understanding of community processes, enabling more predictive or actionable insights for different community members. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

2. Practices, pitfalls and guidelines in visualising Lagrangian ocean analyses

Author

Kehl, C., Fischer, R. P. B., Sebille, E. van, Kehl, C., Fischer, R. P. B., and Sebille, E. van

Abstract

The Lagrangian analysis of particulate matter, biota and drifters, which are dispersed by turbulent fluid currents, is a cornerstone of oceanographic studies, covering diverse study objectives. The results of Lagrangian simulations and observations is predominantly visualised by means of easy-access plotting interfaces and simple presentation techniques. We analysed over 50 publications from the years 2010-2020 with respect to their visual design to deduce common visualisation practices in the domain. Individual figures are analysed towards adherence to visualisation best-practices, algebraic visualisation guidelines and the IPCC visual style guide. In this article, we present the resulting best-practices and common pitfalls in the design of Lagrangian ocean visualisations. Based on this visual study, we highlight that raising awareness of established visual guidelines may have a higher impact on improving the visual quality of publications in oceanography than the vigorous development of more general-purpose visualisation tools.
