What-Why Analysis of Expert Interviews: Analysing Geographically-Embedded Flow Data

In this paper, we present our analysis of five expert interviews, each from a different application domain. Such analysis is crucial to understanding the real-world scenarios of analysing geographically-embedded flow data. The results of our analysis show that similar high-level tasks were conducted in different domains. To better describe the targets of these tasks, we proposed three flow-targets for analysing geographically-embedded flow data: single flow, total flow and regional flow.
