Why integrate InfoVis and SciVis?: An example from systems biology

IEEE Comput Graph Appl. 2014 Nov-Dec;34(6):69-73. doi: 10.1109/MCG.2014.122.

Abstract

The more-or-less artificial barrier between information visualization and scientific visualization hinders knowledge discovery. Having an integrated view of many aspects of the target data, including a seamlessly interwoven visual display of structural abstract data and 3D spatial information, could lead to new discoveries, insights, and scientific questions. Such a view also could reduce the user's cognitive load--that is, reduce the effort the user expends when comparing views.
