用于信息分析的工作空间必须支持两种类型的分析：常规信息报告和探索性分析。我们一直在开发一个名为 Visage 的工作区来解决这两种类型的分析任务。我们的目标是让专家用户能够根据情况的需要在日常任务和探索性数据分析之间轻松切换。此外，认识到数据分析固有的复杂性，我们希望系统能够供临时用户访问，同时为专家用户提供强大的功能和灵活性。理想情况下，这样的系统应该支持逐渐转向增加专业知识，以便偶尔使用常规界面的用户可以在需要时执行更详细的分析。 Visage 通过为各种数据操作和可视化原语提供一致的接口来满足这些需求。此外，它还允许用户结合这些操作来创建设备——在一个简单的界面中捕获常规数据分析过程的多个步骤的专用应用程序。因此，分析师可以从一组通用的操作和跨应用程序集成信息的方法中受益。 Visage 提供基本工具和专门的信息设备来帮助他们。
A workspace for information analysis must support two types of analysis: routine information reporting and exploratory analysis. We have been developing a workspace called Visage to address both types of analysis tasks. Our goal is for expert users to move easily between routine tasks and exploratory data analysis as situations demand. Furthermore, recognizing the inherent complexity of data analysis, we want a system that is accessible to occasional users yet simultaneously provides power and flexibility for expert users. Ideally, such a system should support a gradual shift to increasing expertise so that occasional users of routine interfaces can perform more detailed analyses if needed. Visage addresses these needs by providing a consistent interface to a wide variety of data manipulation and visualization primitives. Plus, it lets users combine these operations to create appliances-special-purpose applications capturing multiple steps of a routine data analysis process-in a single, simple interface. Analysts thus benefit from a common set of operations and ways to integrate information across applications. Visage provides both basic tools and specialized information appliances to help them.
