Abstract

Sensemaking is a process of find meaning from information, and often involves activities such as information foraging and hypothesis generation. It can be valuable to maintain a history of the data and reasoning involved, commonly known as provenance information. Provenance information can be a resource for “reflection-in-action” during analysis, supporting collaboration between analysts, and help trace data quality and uncertainty through analysis process. Currently, there is limited work of utilizing analytic provenance, which captures the interactive data exploration and human reasoning process, to support sensemaking. In this article, we present and extend the research challenges discussed in a IEEE VIS 2014 workshop in order to provide an agenda for sensemaking analytic provenance.
