The Whole Story: Building the Complete History of a Place

摘要

In this paper, we discuss how one can build a visual analytics system to comprehensively describe a place throughout its many interconnected histories. We discuss the needed 4D data structure, the analytics techniques, and the interactive visualizations. This combination of automated and interactive techniques can be brought together into a new, powerful capability. We focus on the example of Rome and, more specifically, on its architectural/cultural history.
