At the core of the application are two views of the data that focus on database-driven information visualization, a map animation and a stacked temporal graph, or “phenophase stack,” both fully interactive and with user selection of parameters filtering the data. Developers at CEI designed and developed the application working closely with NCO staff. Two rounds of informal evaluation with usability experts and domain scientists gauged the success and utility of the application, as well as provided feedback for the development process. The work presented here details a case study in designing a web-based data-driven information visualization application with phenology data, a domain application that has seen little attention from the fields of web-mapping and visualization.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
