我们介绍接地评估作为一个过程，试图确保信息可视化工具的评估是位于其预期用途的上下文中。我们讨论的过程和范围一般接地评估，然后描述如何定性调查可能是一个有益的方法，作为这个过程的一部分。我们主张在信息可视化开发生命周期的早期增加对定性研究领域的关注，因为它试图通过使用更全面的方法来考虑影响可视化，其开发和使用的因素之间的相互作用来实现更丰富的理解。我们提出了三个案例研究，在这些案例中，我们成功地使用了观察技术来了解群体中的视觉分析过程，医疗诊断推理和计算语言学家中的可视化使用。
We introduce grounded evaluation as a process that attempts to ensure that the evaluation of an information visualization tool is situated within the context of its intended use. We discuss the process and scope of grounded evaluation in general, and then describe how qualitative inquiry may be a beneficial approach as part of this process. We advocate for increased attention to the field of qualitative inquiry early in the information visualization development life cycle, as it tries to achieve a richer understanding by using a more holistic approach considering the interplay between factors that influence visualizations, their development, and their use. We present three case studies in which we successfully used observational techniques to inform our understanding of the visual analytics process in groups, medical diagnostic reasoning, and visualization use among computational linguists.
