Semantic Cartography in Information Retrieval Systems

In this paper we examine the state of research into the domain of information visualization. We start by describing the spectrum of current paradigms of information visualization. We address the problem of their integration in the web applications and precisely in information search systems. Then, we deal about the challenges and directives for a good conception of semantic visualization. Then, we discuss about the existing methods of information visualization evaluation and present the most relevant challenges facing both information visualization construction and evaluation tasks.
