Information visualization reference model
open-in-new
<p>The Information visualization reference model is an example of a reference model for <a href="/facts/Information_visualization/DSHteV85">information visualization</a>, developed by <a href="/facts/Ed_Chi/zSUbee3Y">Ed Chi</a> in 1999, under the name of the <i>data state model</i>. Chi showed that the framework successfully modeled a wide array of visualization applications and later showed that the model was functionally equivalent to the data flow model used in existing graphics toolkits such as <a href="/facts/VTK/SXTm1vTl">VTK</a>. </p>
