We present a contemporary classification of visual knowledge representations
into clusters within a two dimensional space, as well as a visual hierarchy
depicting pairwise similarity between representations. The work in this paper
follows the process carried out by Lohse et al. in their paper entitled
`Classifying Visual Knowledge Representations' (Lohse et al. 1990). The
images for the study were collected from the VisWeek 2012 proceedings for the
InfoVis conference. The results show a progressive blending of visualization
types that was not so prevalent in the Lohse paper. This is indicative of the
progression from distinct visualization categories to composite designs
within the visualization community.
