SPECIFYING COMPLEX VISUALIZATION CONFIGURATIONS WITH HIERARCHICALLY NESTED MAPPING RULE SETS
Helga Tauscher, Raimar J. Scherer · Journal of Information Technology in Construction · 2015
A generic visualization framework should allow for the specification of arbitrary visualizations to be generated from Building Information Models. It has been shown before, how simple visualizations can be produced with mapping rule sets and how two simple visualizations can be combined into a more complex visualization using three different combination methods. Now these approaches are extended to arbitrary complex visualizations by nesting the combination methods hierarchically. Systematic analysis yields nine different nesting cases, which are evaluated and illustrated by use case examples.
