Ontology Visualization: A Systematic Literature Analysis

The aim of this work is summarizing the current state of the art in the field of ontology visualization. For this purpose the method of systematic literature analysis has been applied. Publications on and in ESWC, ISWC, KEOD, AVI, and JUCS have been systematically searched for research results regarding ontology visualizations. Besides a general map of activity in the area, especially the context of ontology visualization and the nature of presented artefacts have been investigated. Furthermore, topics for future research are derived.
