Classification Data

Comparing the two classification datasets

Task
Menu/Tool Attributes
Effect
To what extent are the differences in the classifications due to differences in how animals are thought to be related? not yet unable to understand the user needs
Are there other kinds of differences
Visualization, size, linear map intrinsic attribute node on size
Visualization, Colors, HSV, distribution map extrinsic attribute rank on color
Same tools as file system also map extrinsic attribute rank on color
Some differences appears on the distribution on rank, view
can you explain them not yet unable to understand the user needs

Considering one dataset or the other

Task
Menu/Tool Attributes
Effect
Can you say in how many different subtrees a particular common name (such as "dolphin" or "horse") is used? How closely are these animals related?
Search search on attribute common name a string
Search Extract and create a new view
A minimal subtree containing the selection with the selected nodes in outlined in pink, view
Are common names a good guide to understanding relationships? not yet unable to understand the user needs
How many species or subspecies are named after biologists named "Townsend"? Note that the answer will be different if you are looking at common names versus Latin names. Can you look at the pattern of names to deduce where in the world they might have done research? On what kinds of animals?
Search search on attribute common name and/or Latin names a string (e.g.Townsend)
Search Extract and create a new view
Visualization, hierarchical
A view containing the selection with the selected nodes outlined in pink. Inspect the values using the Detailed data menu, view.
Some scientific names are maddeningly similar. For example, Spirulida and Spirurida are two nodes in two different subtrees. A user types in the wrong one. What kind of feedback does your tool provide to alert the user quickly? Do the names have the same rank? Is the typed name in the expected part of the tree? not yet not yet
For the top five subtrees with the most nodes -- are they likely to have a parent of a particular rank? Or does this happen in many ranks?
Visualization, Colors, HSV, uniform map rank to color
Search/Advanced intrinsic attribute node, move the cursor in high position
The root of the five subtrees appear outlined in pink. Inpect the colors of the parents. If it is the same then select a parent and go to detailed data menu the exploration of the rank. view
