Linear diagrams have been shown to be an effective method of representing set-based data. Moreover, a number of guidelines have been proven to improve the efficacy of linear diagrams. One of these guidelines is to minimise the number of line segments... Read More about Minimising line segments in linear diagrams is NP-hard.

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 dataset.

Visualization has been widely used for the representation of ontologies. However, to the best of our knowledge, visualization has been little employed in ontology debugging. Effective ontology debugging is crucial for engineers and domain experts to... Read More about Debugging Ontologies Dataset.

The efficacy of Euler diagrams and linear diagrams for visualizing set cardinality using proportions and numbers (2019)
Journal Article
Stapleton, G., Chapman, P., Rodgers, P., Touloumis, A., Blake, A., & Delaney, A. (2019). The efficacy of Euler diagrams and linear diagrams for visualizing set cardinality using proportions and numbers. PLOS ONE, 14(3), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0211234

This paper presents the first empirical investigation that compares Euler and linear diagrams when they are used to represent set cardinality. A common approach is to use area-proportional Euler diagrams but linear diagrams can exploit length-proport...

There are a range of diagram types that can be used to visualize
sets. However, there is a significant lack of insight into which is the
most effective visualization. To address this knowledge gap, this paper empirically evaluates four diagram type... Read More about Visualizing Sets: An Empirical Comparison of Diagram Types..
