Information visualization reference model
The Information visualization reference model is an example of a reference model for information visualization, developed by Ed Chi in 1999, under the name of the data state model. Chi showed that the framework successfully modeled a wide array of visualization applications and later showed that the model was functionally equivalent to the data flow model used in existing graphics toolkits such as VTK.
