In this paper, we suggest a list of tasks we believe are commonly encountered while analyzing graph data. We define graph specific objects and demonstrate how all complex tasks could be seen as a series of low-level tasks performed on those objects. We believe that our taxonomy, associated with benchmark datasets and specific tasks, would help evaluators generalize results collected through a series of controlled experiments.}, publisher = {ACM}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/task-taxonomy-graph-visualization/}, pages = {1-5}, edition = {In Proceedings of the 2006 AVI workshop on BEyond time and errors: novel evaluation methods for information visualization}, }
