data state reference model (Chi, 2000) and the three-
step process (Shneiderman, 1996). However, the cur-
rent state of the design strategy relies heavily on em-
pirical approaches which are not scalable. To this end,
designing a software tool that encompasses the design
strategy proposed can be attractive.
As the implementation of the DVEL in the three
use cases—NOVA (Schmelzle et al., 2017), KIT-
cube (Kalthoff et al., 2013), USCT (Gemmeke et al.,
2017)—are still at its early stage, user feedbacks from
the DVEL remains as an interesting component to
shape the future research challenges. In this paper,
we described mainly on the concept and design of the
DVEL but not the relationship between the meta data
and the visual components.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to thank the German Federal Ministry
of Education and Research for funding of ASTOR and
NOVA (grants 05K13VK5 and 05K16VKB, respecti-
vely). We also express our gratitude to Sebastian
Schmelzle, Michael Heethof, Thomas van de Kamp,
Torsten Hopp, and Michael Zapf for their helpful in-
sights.
