Evaluating Colour in Concept Diagrams (2022)
Conference Proceeding
McGrath, S., Blake, A., Stapleton, G., Touloumis, A., Chapman, P., Jamnik, M., & Shams, Z. (2022). Evaluating Colour in Concept Diagrams. In Diagrammatic Representation and Inference: 13th International Conference, Diagrams 2022, Rome, Italy, September 14–16, 2022, Proceedings (168-184). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-15146-0_14

This paper is the first to establish the impact of colour on users' ability to interpret the informational content of concept diagrams, a logic designed for ontology engineering. Motivation comes from results for Euler diagrams, which form a fragment... Read More about Evaluating Colour in Concept Diagrams.

Interactivity in Linear Diagrams (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Chapman, P. (2021). Interactivity in Linear Diagrams. In Diagrammatic Representation and Inference: 12th International Conference, Diagrams 2021, Virtual, September 28–30, 2021, Proceedings (449-465). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-86062-2_47

Linear diagrams have been shown to be an effective method for representing set-based data. Moreover, design principles have been empirically developed that, when followed, improve the efficacy of linear diagrams. These principles are task-independent...

Towards Diagram-Based Editing of Ontologies (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Chapman, P., & Roberts, W. (2018). Towards Diagram-Based Editing of Ontologies. In Diagrammatic Representation and Inference (699-703). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-91376-6_62

Ontology creation and editing involves multiple stakeholders, not all of whom may be mathematically trained. Whilst ontology editors, such as Protege, are extensible with visualisation tools to enhance understanding of the ontology, these tools are s...

Visualizing ALC Using Concept Diagrams (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Stapleton, G., Delaney, A., Compton, M., & Chapman, P. (2018). Visualizing ALC Using Concept Diagrams. . https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-78102-0_6

This paper addresses the problem of how to visualize axioms from ALC using concept diagrams. We establish that 66.4% of OWL axioms defined for ontologies in the Manchester corpus are formulated over ALC, demonstrating the significance of considering...

Measuring perceived clutter in concept diagrams (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Hou, T., Chapman, P., & Oliver, I. (2016). Measuring perceived clutter in concept diagrams. In 2016 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing. https://doi.org/10.1109/vlhcc.2016.7739661

Clutter in a diagram can be broadly defined as how visually complex the diagram is. It may be that different users perceive clutter in different ways, however. Moreover, it has been shown that, for certain types of diagrams and tasks, an increase in... Read More about Measuring perceived clutter in concept diagrams.
