All use cases were collected during a workshop at OKCon 2013, that focused on knowledge space navigation and information retrieval strategies.
The use cases were combined with illustrative moodboards, referring to common techniques of spatial and structural visualization, to facilitate further discussion and subsequently lead to UI concepts for data visualization in the domain of knowledge management.

1) Mind mapA mind map is often created around a single word or text, placed in the center,
to which associated ideas, words and concepts are added. Major categories radiate from a central node, and lesser categories are sub-branches of larger branches
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_map
2) Radar chartA radar chart is a graphical method of displaying multivariate data in the form
of a two-dimensional chart of three or more quantitative variables represented on axes starting from the same point. The relative position and angle of the axes is typically uninformative.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_chart
3) Tube mapAs a schematic diagram, it shows not necessarily the geographic but rather the
relative positions of stations along the lines, stations' connective relations with each other and fare zones. The basic design concepts have been widely adopted for other network maps around the world, especially that of mapping topologically rather than geographically.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_map
4) T mapThis qualitative and conceptual type of medieval cartography could yield
extremely detailed maps in addition to simple representations. The earliest maps had only a few cities and the most important bodies of water noted. The four sacred rivers of the Holy Land were always present.

5) Heat mapA heat map is a graphical representation of data where the individual values
contained in a matrix are represented as colors.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heatmap

1) GamificationGamification is the use of game thinking and game mechanics in non-game
contexts to engage users in solving problems.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamification
2) Line of playThe line of play is the configuration of played tiles on the table. It starts with a
single tile and typically grows in two opposite directions when players add matching tiles. In practice, players often play tiles at right angles when the line of play gets too close to the edge of the table.

relative positions of stations along the lines, stations' connective relations with each other and fare zones. The basic design concepts have been widely adopted for other network maps around the world, especially that of mapping topologically rather than geographically.

1) Line chartA line chart or line graph is a type of chart which displays information as a
series of data points called 'markers' connected by straight line segments.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_chart
2) Trend lineA trend line is formed when a diagonal line can be drawn between two or more
price pivot points. They are commonly used to judge entry and exit investment timing when trading securities

be compared, restored and merged.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control

1) MapA map is a visual representation of an area – a symbolic depiction highlighting
relationships between elements of that space such as objects, regions, and themes.

2) Force directed graph A physical simulation of charged particles and springs places related
characters in closer proximity, while unrelated characters are farther apart. http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4062045
3) 3D projection3D projection is any method of mapping three-dimensional points to a two-
dimensional plane. As most current methods for displaying graphical data are based on planar two-dimensional media, the use of this type of projection is widespread, especially in computer graphics, engineering and drafting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection
4) Augmented reality.. view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented
(or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality

1) Sequence diagramA sequence diagram is an interaction diagram that shows how processes
operate with one another and in what order. It is a construct of a Message Sequence Chart.

4) LabyrinthA single-path (unicursal) labyrinth has only a single, non-branching path, which
leads to the center. A labyrinth in this sense has an unambiguous route to the center and back and is not designed to be difficult to navigate.
