有关可视化任务的知识在选择或构建合适的视觉表示以追求它们方面起着重要作用。然而，任务是一个多方面的概念，因此许多现有的任务分类和模型都描述了任务的不同方面，这并不奇怪，这取决于这些任务描述的目的是捕捉。这导致在一个明确的需要，把这些不同的方面在一个通用的设计空间的可视化任务，我们在本文中提出的共同罩。我们的设计空间由五个设计维度组成，这些维度表征了任务的主要方面，并且到目前为止已经分布在不同的任务描述中。我们通过将我们的设计空间应用于气候影响研究领域来实现其具体用途。为此，我们为不同的用户角色（开发人员，作者和最终用户）提出了设计空间的接口，允许不同专业水平的用户使用它。
Knowledge about visualization tasks plays an important role in choosing or building suitable visual representations to pursue them. Yet, tasks are a multi-faceted concept and it is thus not surprising that the many existing task taxonomies and models all describe different aspects of tasks, depending on what these task descriptions aim to capture. This results in a clear need to bring these different aspects together under the common hood of a general design space of visualization tasks, which we propose in this paper. Our design space consists of five design dimensions that characterize the main aspects of tasks and that have so far been distributed across different task descriptions. We exemplify its concrete use by applying our design space in the domain of climate impact research. To this end, we propose interfaces to our design space for different user roles (developers, authors, and end users) that allow users of different levels of expertise to work with it.
