| Event Description: Yi Qiang, The Earth Lab and Dept. of Geography, University of Colorado Boulder From Time to Time: Novel Representations of Time for Visual Analytics How to represent time is a fundamental question in many disciplines. Conventionally, time intervals are represented as linear segments in a one-dimensional space, which is however inefficient for data visualization, particularly for a large amount of temporal data with sophisticated structures. An alternative representation of time intervals is the triangular model (TM), which represents time intervals in a two-dimensional space. In this presentation, the basic concept of the TM and its variants will be introduced. Their uses in visualizing different kinds of temporal data will be exhibited. Moreover, it will show how the TM can be implemented in a geographical information system (GIS) to analyze time-dependent geospatial data. The usefulness of the TM and its implementation will be demonstrated in a number of use cases. |
