We present News in Time and Space (NiTS), a virtual reality application for visualization, filtering and interaction with geo-referenced events based on GDELT. It can be used both via VR glasses and as a desktop solution for shared use by multiple users ...

The rapid development of open government data and the increasing attention on data use/reuse have stimulated many studies on data-related issues. The extant studies show that even though OGD portals have been rapidly developed in this age of data, there ...

Interactive tools like user interfaces help democratize data access for end-users by hiding underlying programming details and exposing the necessary widget interface to users. Since customized interfaces are costly to build, automated interface ...

What is it to navigate or to be navigated? How, and through what, is information communicated to us? Do our interactions with space need to be limited to when we are moving through it? This paper describes a collection of design concepts generated as ...

Collaborative work with data is increasingly common and spans a broad range of activities - from creating or analysing data in a team, to sharing it with others, to reusing someone else's data in a new context. In this paper, we explore collaboration ...

Data has become a core asset for organizations. However, the data infrastructures, which makes data accessible often require IT expertise, which consequently places high demands on organiza-tions' computational knowledge and skills. This paper reports ...

This half day workshop explores challenges in data search, with a particular focus on data on the web. We want to stimulate an interdisciplinary discussion around how to improve the description, discovery, ranking and presentation of structured and semi-...

Structured data is becoming critical in every domain and its availability on the web is increasing rapidly. Despite its abundance and variety of applications, we know very little about how people find data, understand it, and put it to use. This work ...

This paper explores the design space of privacy policies through the prototyping of a `reimagined' privacy policy for a UK media service. Privacy policies notify potential users about the data practices of a service and, in principle, enable users to ...

Automated passive sensing applications and self-reported smart diaries seem to hold promise for the management of anxiety in autism and other mental health conditions. However, passive sensing often struggles with noisy data, ambiguous feedback and weak ...

Structured data such as databases, spreadsheets and web tables is becoming critical in every domain and professional role. Yet we still do not know much about how people interact with it. Our research focuses on the information seeking behaviour of ...
