Date/Datum Signature/Unterschrift Abstract Presenting visual information to blind users may be regarded as one of the most complex challenges in the field of accessibility. The confluence of data visualisations moving to the web and initiatives towards web accessibility have led to a particularly promising approach: enriching SVG-based charts with underlying data and semantic information in machine-readable form using ARIA roles and properties. This thesis first surveys current approaches to web accessibility, chart accessibility, and the semantic enrichment of SVG charts, concentrating on charts of tabular data, such as line, bar, and pie charts. A number of proposed taxonomies of ARIA roles and properties for accessible SVG charts are discussed and compared, leading to a new aggregate taxonomy, the AChart (Accessible Chart) taxonomy. The remainder of the thesis presents AChart, a suite of open-source software tools written in TypeScript with Node.js, which currently supports bar charts, line charts, and pie charts. AChart Creator is a command-line tool which generates accessible SVG charts from CSV files using the D3 framework and injecting ARIA roles and properties from the AChart taxonomy. AChart Interpreter is a client-side web application which interprets an accessible SVG chart, displays side-by-side graphical and textual versions of the chart, and can read out the chart using synthetic speech. Its user interface is screen reader compatible, so it can be used by blind users to gain an understanding of a chart, as well as by developers and chart authors to verify and validate the accessibility markup of an SVG chart. AChart Summariser is a command-line tool which interprets an accessible SVG chart and outputs a textual summary of the chart. Kurzfassung Die Darstellung visueller Informationen für die Zielgruppe blinder NutzerInnen kann als eine der kom- plexesten Herausforderungen auf dem Fachgebiet Accessibility betrachtet werden. Das Zusammenspiel zweier Faktoren, nämlich der steigenden Zahl an im Web veröffentlichten Datenvisualisierungen einerseits und der Initiativen für Barrierefreiheit andererseits, haben in einen besonders vielversprechenden Ansatz gemündet: die Anreicherung SVG-basierter Charts mit ihren zugrundeliegenden Daten und semantischen Informationen in maschinell auslesbarer Form mittels ARIA-Attributen (sog. roles und properties). Diese Arbeit untersucht zunächst aktuelle Ansätze der Web-Accessibility, der Erstellung zugänglicher Charts und der semantischen Anreicherung von SVG-Charts. Betrachtet werden hierbei auf tabellarischen Daten basierende Charts, wie zum Beispiel Linien-, Balken- und Kreisdiagramme. Mehrere vorgeschla- gene Taxonomien von ARIA-Attributen für zugängliche Charts werden diskutiert, verglichen und in ein neues System überführt, die AChart- (Accessible Chart) Taxonomie. In den verbleibenden Kapiteln dieser Arbeit wird AChart vorgestellt, eine Sammlung quelloffener Software-Werkzeuge, die in TypeScript und mit Node.js entwickelt wurde und in der aktuellen Version Linien-, Balken- und Kreisdiagramme unterstützt. AChart Creator ist ein Kommandozeilenprogramm, welches unter Verwendung des D3-Frameworks zugängliche SVG-Charts aus CSV-Dateien generiert und mit ARIA-Attributen aus der AChart-Taxonomie versieht. AChart Interpreter ist eine Client-seitige Webanwendung, die ein zugängliches SVG-Chart interpretiert, nebeneinander grafische und textuelle Versionen des Charts anzeigt und das Chart per Sprachsynthese vorlesen kann. Die Benutzeroberfläche wurde barrierefrei gestaltet, so dass blinde Nutzer das Programm dazu einsetzen können, ein Chart zu ver- stehen. Gleichzeitig kann es von Entwicklern und Chart-Autoren für die Verifizierung und Validierung des Accessibility-Markups von SVG-Charts verwendet werden. AChart Summariser ist ein Kommandozeilen- Werkzeug, welches ein zugängliches SVG-Chart interpretiert und eine textuelle Zusammenfassung des Charts ausgibt.

More specifically the focus is on the visualizations of market data in journalistic context and on digital platforms. The main target group of the visualizations we are looking at are mainly small- scale investors (also entrepreneurs and decision makers) whose level of expertise varies. The report discusses the ways in which complicated numerical data can be presented in an efficient, illustrative manner, so that relevant up-to-date information is quickly available for those who want to keep up with the finances.

It can be difficult to interpret and obtain statistics from large sets of raw data. Visualizing data is a common solution to this problem. Visuals for all sorts of data are found everywhere in your daily life, including the web. To transition from raw data to a visual representation can be tedious, time-consuming, and expensive. WidgetBuilder is the solution to these issues. The goal of WidgetBuilder is to empower users by providing them with a web interface to easily marry data in a database with a collection of various flash visualizations including charts, graphs and gauges.

  • Designed to Succeed—How Design Is Playing a Strategic
    FusionCharts FusionCharts White Paper Designed to succeed—How design is playing a strategic role in today’s software products? Designed to succeed―How design is playing a strategic role in today’s software products? Abstract “Good design is good business”—we heard this way back in the 1950s from Thomas Watson of IBM fame. Cut to the 21st century and good design seems to have become more critical than ever. Higher competition coupled with evolving needs of the customer have made design a strategic differentiator for software products. This paper analyzes the new meaning that design has come to acquire in today’s competitive business environment. By citing examples of some leading software products, this paper seeks to establish that design is no more an afterthought while building a product but is increasingly being used as a strategic differentiator. FusionChartsFusionCharts | www.fusioncharts.comwww.fusioncharts.com 2 2 FusionCharts Designed to succeed―How design is playing a strategic role in today’s software products? Introduction In his book ‘Don’t make me think’, Steve Krug talks about human computer interaction and web usabil- ity. The central idea in the book is that if a website makes a user stop and think about what he is doing, the design needs to be reconsidered. Though the book primarily focuses on e-commerce websites, a lot of what he says can be applied to other software applications too. Users like software applications that are simple, intuitive and do not thwart their normal thinking pro- cess. They want their apps to be friendly, focused, functional, fun, and fast.
