Timeseries (P6)

[vlandham]

Requirements:

Brief Description:

Time can be defined as actual time (timestamp associated with some text data) or progress through the length of a document (text later in a document happens at a later time).

This visualization shows counts of some token or text feature over time. Possible visual forms include dot plots and variable sized circle plots.

Clarifications Required:

• Which specific visualization(s) are we thinking of and what priority are they?
• What do they visualize? (x-axis and y-axis data types)
• Is one visualization capable of all these permutations or are these all multiple visualizations?

p1- bar charts and line charts, p2 dot/circle. The Tarantino one is a bar chart, and my example is a line chart (html_js/timeseries.html).

Multiple series might be plotted over time - e.g., 2 searches, or the sums/avgs of the pos/negative sentiment word matches. (I guess we need to decide if stacked or grouped bars in that case; multi-line is easier.)

X axis is ordered (either date or number), Y is count/avg/median maybe.

It would be nice to make one that can be configured into the shapes.

Strong consideration for UI discussion: Option of tooltip with KWIC display for the thing being summarized if it's a search term. Config object can take an array of tooltip strings?

Config object for multiple docs will need an option for how to order them if they are being used in a timeseries display; e.g., a list of the order in which they should appear on the x axis.
