From Multiple Linked Views to Multiple Linked Analyses: The Meme Media Digital Dashboard

We describe a system called the Digital Dashboard that uses multiple linked views of data. All views allow interaction with the visualization results and interaction is done through direct manipulation. The system has been extended to allow new complex data to be generated in analysis components at runtime, e.g. By statistical analysis or data mining of parts of the data. The resulting data can be used in other linked views or analysis components, so when e.g. A data mining parameter is changed, all linked views (or analysis components) are automatically updated as soon as the new calculations are finished, and when something changes in linked components (e.g. A different subset of the data is selected), the calculations are automatically redone (if necessary).
