A method of visualizing a tag cloud of individual tags, wherein each is a certain piece of information and is formed of one or more characters, and wherein for a tag metainformation has been measured over a certain time interval so that there exists a vector of metainformation measurements for said tag, each component of said vector representing a certain metainformation measurement, said method comprising:
dividing a tag into a plurality of slices;
mapping said vector of metainformation measurements of said tag over time such that each slice of said tag corresponds to one or more of said metainformation measurements;
visualizing the temporal change of said metainformation measurements for said tag by changing for each of said slices one or more of the following parameters depending on the corresponding one or more metainformation measurements:
the font size,
the color saturation;
the inner space between said slices;
the actual height on which the individual slices are placed on a virtual stairway, whereas one distinct significance measurement is indicated by the actual height with respect to a baseline. |
