On Wednesday 5th of June, Jonathan Roberts reported on a study at the 21st edition of the EuroVis conference in Porto, Portugal. The study, presented as the paper “Multiple Views: different meanings and collocated words“, examined the terminology and phraseology of using ‘multiple views’, ‘many presentations’ and ‘alternative visual depictions’ in the area of visualisation. This research offers insights into how people use these words, and makes recommendations for their use. It is hoped that the resulting framework of ideas and words will prove useful as a resource for building close writing tools for authoring multiple view texts, and a reference for novice and expert authors in visualisation.
