Abstract
New sets of powerful data visualization tools have appeared in the marketplace and in the research community. This, combined with readily available computer memory, speed, and graphics capabilities, makes it possible to explore larger and larger data sets. However, it is difficult to judge the effectiveness of these tools for supporting large scale information exploration and knowledge discovery. In this paper, we describe a set of issues critical to benchmarking and evaluation in this domain. We then propose an approach to constructing an evaluation environment and report on initial results from a prototype environment in which we tested five visualization approaches against nine existing data sets.Citation
