Helium: visualization of large scale plant pedigrees (2014)
Journal Article
Shaw, P., Graham, M., Kennedy, J., Milne, I., & Marshall, D. F. (2014). Helium: visualization of large scale plant pedigrees. BMC Bioinformatics, 15, Article 259. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-15-259

Plant breeders use an increasingly diverse range of data types to identify lines with desirable characteristics suitable to be taken forward in plant breeding programmes. There are a number of key morphological and physiological traits, such as disea... Read More about Helium: visualization of large scale plant pedigrees.

VIPER: a visualisation tool for exploring inheritance inconsistencies in genotyped pedigrees (2012)
Journal Article
Paterson, T., Graham, M., Kennedy, J., & Law, A. (2012). VIPER: a visualisation tool for exploring inheritance inconsistencies in genotyped pedigrees. BMC Bioinformatics, 13/8, https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-13-S8-S5

Pedigree genotype datasets are used for analysing genetic inheritance and to map genetic markers and traits. Such datasets consist of hundreds of related animals genotyped for thousands of genetic markers and invariably contain multiple errors in bot...

Visualising errors in animal pedigree genotype data (2011)
Journal Article
Graham, M., Kennedy, J., Paterson, T., & Law, A. (2011). Visualising errors in animal pedigree genotype data. Computer Graphics Forum, 30, 1011-1020. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-8659.2011.01950.x

Genetic analysis of a breeding animal population involves determining the inheritance pattern of genotypes for multiple genetic markers across the individuals in the population pedigree structure. However, experimental pedigree genotype data invariab... Read More about Visualising errors in animal pedigree genotype data.

A survey of multiple tree visualisation. (2010)
Journal Article
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2010). A survey of multiple tree visualisation. Information Visualization, 9, 235-252. https://doi.org/10.1057/ivs.2009.29

This paper summarises the state-of-the-art in multiple tree visualisations. It discusses the spectrum of current representation techniques used on single trees, pairs of trees and finally multiple trees, in order to identify which representations are...

Visual Exploration of Alternative Taxonomies through Concepts (2007)
Journal Article
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2007). Visual Exploration of Alternative Taxonomies through Concepts. Ecological Informatics, 2, 248-261. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoinf.2007.07.004

A graphical user interface is presented that allows users of taxonomic data to explore concept relationships between conflicting but related taxonomic classifications. Ecological analyses that use taxonomic metadata depend on accurate naming of spe... Read More about Visual Exploration of Alternative Taxonomies through Concepts.

Exploring multiple trees through DAG representations (2007)
Journal Article
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2007). Exploring multiple trees through DAG representations. IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 13, 1294-1301. https://doi.org/10.1109/TVCG.2007.70556

We present a Directed Acyclic Graph visualisation designed to allow interaction with a set of multiple classification trees, specifically to find overlaps and differences between groups of trees and individual trees. The work is motivated by the need... Read More about Exploring multiple trees through DAG representations.

Extending Taxonomic Visualisation to Incorporate Synonymy and Structural Markers (2005)
Journal Article
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2005). Extending Taxonomic Visualisation to Incorporate Synonymy and Structural Markers. Information Visualization, 4(3), 206-223. https://doi.org/10.1057/palgrave.ivs.9500096

The visualisation of taxonomic hierarchies has evolved from indented lists of names to techniques that can display thousands of nodes and onto hundreds of thousands of nodes over multiple taxonomies. However, challenges remain within multiple hierarc... Read More about Extending Taxonomic Visualisation to Incorporate Synonymy and Structural Markers.

Managing social capital as knowledge management – some specification and representation issues. (2005)
Journal Article
Davenport, E., Graham, M., Kennedy, J., & Taylor, K. (2005). Managing social capital as knowledge management – some specification and representation issues. Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 40, 101-108. https://doi.org/10.1002/meet.1450400113

‘Classic’ accounts of social capital have emerged in accounts of stable networks or institutional environments. These conditions do not apply in the case of many firms – a case in point being small firm networks that rely on rapid turnover of pr...

Novel visualisation techniques for working with multiple, overlapping classification hierarchies (2002)
Journal Article
Graham, M., Watson, M. F., & Kennedy, J. (2002). Novel visualisation techniques for working with multiple, overlapping classification hierarchies. Taxon, 51, 351-358

A Java-based program is presented that provides a visualisation tool for display of and comparison between classification hierarchies. Taxa, or groups of taxa, can be tracked across multiple, overlapping classifications. Recognition of congruence and...

Towards a methodology for developing visualizations (2000)
Journal Article
GRAHAM, M., KENNEDY, J., & BENYON, D. (2000). Towards a methodology for developing visualizations. International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 53(5), 789-807. https://doi.org/10.1006/ijhc.2000.0415

This paper presents a case study of the development of a visualization to represent and explore the relationships between multiple hierarchical structures, specifically botanical taxonomies. The case study outlines the visualization's development fro... Read More about Towards a methodology for developing visualizations.
