Abstract
Knowledge visualisation, in the field of information systems, is
both a process and a product, and is informed by the closely aligned
fields of information visualisation and knowledge management.
Knowledge visualisation has untapped potential within the purview
of knowledge communication. Even so, there is little evidence of
knowledge visualisations being deployed. This might be due to
a lack of evidence-based guidance to inform their creation. To
improve this situation, we derived a number of “lenses” that can be
used to reveal essential perspectives and feed into the visualisation
production process.
We propose a conceptual framework which incorporates these
lenses to guide producers of knowledge visualisations. This framework
uses the different lenses to reveal critical perspectives that
need to be considered during the design process. We conclude by
demonstrating how this framework could be used to produce a
knowledge visualisation with maximum communicative power.
