CRITIQUING-BASED MAP INFORMATION SEEKING

We present an on-going work on the application of critiquing aids in a geographical visualization. Particularly, it has been oriented to the Web 2.0 environment with the goal of facilitating users to easily seek out information and make confident and accurate decisions among overwhelming social data. We concretely illustrate our novel ideas through a web-based interactive travel map, where recommended items are visualized in an informative way and an example-critiquing agent (with both system suggested critiques and user-initiated critiquing support) is integrated to allow for effective product comparison and tradeoff navigation.
