One View is Not Enough: High-Level Visualizations of a Large Cultural Collection

One View is Not Enough: High-Level Visualizations of a Large Cultural Collection. Dörk, M., Pietsch, C., & Credico, G. Information Design Journal, 23(1):39–47, 2017.

Paper doi abstract bibtex

As cultural institutions are digitizing their artifacts and interlinking their collections, new opportunities emerge to engage with cultural heritage. However, it is the often comprehensive and complex nature of collections that can make it difficult to grasp their distribution and extent across a variety of dimensions. After a brief introduction to the research area of collection visualizations, this paper presents a design study visualizing an aggregated collection from diverse cultural institutions in Germany. We detail our iterative design process leading to prototypical implementations of four stylistically and functionally coordinated visualizations, each one focusing on different facets of the collection.
