Ideograms in polyscopic modeling
Dino Karabeg · 2002
The paper argues that the task of representing interrelationships between things requires the use of visual techniques. Our common verbal factual approaches to information tend to miss something essential-the "perspective". In the paper the perspective is defined and explained with the help of a visual technique, the ideograms. It is shown that ideograms can be used for expressing and correcting the perspective. Methodologically, the paper is an introduction to ideograms as an information design technique. Eight applications of ideograms are discussed.
