Event data can hold valuable decision making information, yet detecting
interesting patterns in this type of data is not an easy task because the
data is usually rich and contains spatial, temporal as well as multivariate
dimensions. Research into visual analytics tools to support the discovery of
patterns in event data often focuses on the spatiotemporal or
spatiomultivariate dimension of the data only. Few research efforts focus on
all three dimensions in one framework. An integral view on all three
dimensions is, however, required to unlock the full potential of event
datasets. In this poster, we present an event visualization, transition, and
interaction framework that enables an integral view on all dimensions of
spatiotemporal multivariate event data. The framework is built around the
notion that the event data space can be considered a spatiotemporal
multivariate hypercube. Results of a case study we performed suggest that a
visual analytics tool based on the proposed framework is indeed capable to
support users in the discovery of multidimensional spatiotemporal
multivariate patterns in event data.
