Journal for Geographic Information Science
Historical dictionaries are colossal spatio-temporal artefacts comprising thousands of interrelated concepts and hosting a wide range of answers for cultural and/or historical inquiries. In our approach, the combination of thematic maps with network analysis and real-time textual querying of semantically-enriched lexicographical data serves as an entry point for the visual exploration of a large collection of records. Our tool aims to improve the comprehension of big data through visualization, thus helping the user to reach meaningful conclusions and acquire valuable insights into linguistic and other cultural issues in fast, easy ways.
Keywords: data visualization, e-lexicography, exploratory analysis, user-centred design, dialectology
