A graph is the most common method of visualizing a semantic web. However, when dealing with large and complex semantic webs, existing systems face challenges such as slow loading times and too much information being displayed on the screen. This paper introduces a Multimodal Semantic Browser...

As pointed out by several scholars, inter-organizational collaboration is an important vehicle for knowledge creation. But the process of integrating knowledge across organizational boundaries entails great complexity. In this paper, we argue that visualizing knowledge in interorganizational...

KnowCube®, a novel multi criteria decision making tool, is introduced. Its userfriendly interface assists “intuitive surfing through decision spaces” by means which are also familiar to non-experts. Causes and effects of alternatives may be examined from different points of view, and...

In this study we look at an innovative approach to knowledge management, namely the use of graphical representations for conveying a specific type of knowledge. We focus on business strategy and investigate how this type of knowledge can best be communicated by comparing textual and visual...

In multifarious offices, where social interaction is necessary in order to share and locate essential information, awareness becomes a concurrent process that amplifies the exigency of easy routes for personnel to be able to access this information, deferred or decentralized, in a formalized and...

Due to the nature of the complexity of the aircraft maintenance industry, much emphasis has been placed on improving aircraft inspection performance. One proven technique for improving inspection performance is the use of training. Several strategies have been implemented for training, one of...

Traditionally, recommender systems present recommendations in lists to the user. In content- and knowledge-based recommendation systems these list are often sorted on some notion of similarity with a query, ideal product specification, or sample product. However, a lot of information is lost in...

In this paper, we show that Paul Samuelson (1915-2009), renowned as one of the main advocates of the mathematization of economics, has also contributed to the change of the place of visual representation in the discipline. In his early works (e.g. Foundations of Economic Analysis published in...

This paper suggests the application of multi-dimensional graphs in the study of business cycles in the context of chaos theory. The alternative multidimensional graphic method used is known as the Kite-Cartesian space (Ruiz Estrada, 2006). The Kite-Cartesian space is an alternative analytical...

The development of electronic commerce has been constrained by the inability of online consumers to feel, touch, and sample products through web interfaces, as they are able to do in conventional in-store shopping. Previous academic studies have argued that this limitation could be partly...
