RVL language for visualizing RDFS/OWL data

1. HTWK Leipzig / IMN ; TU Dresden / SMT / Softwaretechnology Group Towards RVL: a Declarative Language for Visualizing RDFS/OWL Data HSWI Workshop at WIMS ‘13, June 14th 2013 Jan Polowinski (jan dot polowinski at tu-dresden dot de)

2. Clarification – What do we mean by „Visualizing“? • Not: Structuring data into textual documents + Formatting / Styling 2/30 • But: Visual encoding: Define what data relations correspond to what graphic relations Source: http://www.w3.org/2005/04/ fresnel-info/manual/#foafExample

3. Overall Goal: Reusable, Shareable Visual Mappings 3/30 Visualization authors can share and reuse „good“ visualization settings and take their settings to other tools! Visualization Author Author of a domain ontology (just finished modelling) Domain ontology authors can propose visualization settings!

9. Summary of the Analysis Preceeding the Design of RVL 9/30 Examples for Visualization Cases: • VC1 - Create a graphic object per resource. • VC2 - Map to Graphic Attributes. • VC5 - Define simple interactions. • VC10 - Draw legends and labeled axes. • VC11 - Define styles.

61. Composition of Visual Mappings 21/30 • Simultaneous Composition • Mappings all applied independently • Trivial, except perceptional constraints (!) • Context Composition • Mapping only applies for a specific context • Created by another mapping WIMS '13, Madrid, 28.06.13 RVL: A Language for RDFS/OWL Visualisation

80. Which Visualisation Cases are Covered?  Most, except: • Interaction  Ideas exist • Complex „Standard“ Graphics • Example: How to describe a TreeMap and the associated algorithms? • Reference a concept „TreeMap“? • Keep flexibility of composition  Current focus • Integration of Formatting and Styling  Fresnel + CSS WIMS '13, Madrid, 28.06.13 RVL: A Language for RDFS/OWL Visualisation 34/30

81. Summary • We introduced a novel Language for visualizing RDFS/OWL data • Rich capabilities to describe visual encodings • Itself based on Semantic web standards à Mappings have URIs • Defaults allow for quickly handling common situations • Design driven by concrete mapping situations • Many mapping situations already covered • Multitude of domains suggests some universality WIMS '13, Madrid, 28.06.13 RVL: A Language for RDFS/OWL Visualisation 35/30
