Motivation
Most educational digital repositories include a
knowledge classification scheme.
The idea of using a visual interface to show and
navigate through these schemas, sounds promising.
Several digital repositories have implemented or are
considering to implement one.
This would require a big implementation effort
evaluate before starting to work.

Case Studies: Organic.Edunet &
Organic.Lingua
Organic.Edunet: a
multilingual federation of
learning repositories about
Organic Agriculture and
Agroecology.
Agrovoc thesaurus used
for knowledge
representation.
Organic.Lingua: improve
Organic.Edunet portal with
advanced language
services.

Case Studies: Organic.Edunet & Organic
Lingua Experiments OE: In-depth usability study involving different user profiles (2011).
Heuristic Analysis, thinking aloud protocol, interviews, benchmarks, focus groups, questionnaires.

Case Studies: VOA3R
Facilitate the open sharing of scientific and scholarly research publications
and outcomes related to agriculture, aquaculture, food and environment.
Agrovoc thesaurus used for knowledge representation.
“Drag & Drop” interface to navigate and search.

Case Studies: VOA3R Experiments
Information gathered from VOA3R pilot & validation trials (>20).
Usability techniques such as thinking aloud, interviews or cognitive
walkthroughs.
These results are described and published as part of the project
deliverables.

Case Studies: Usability study of taxonomy-
visualization user interfaces in digital repositories
In-depth study for the analysis of the perception and interaction levels.
Obtain conclusions that would ultimately lead to development decisions and the
adaptation of user interfaces. (To be published)
The experiment analised the thematic-coverage of the Europeana digital library,
according to a mature and well known taxonomic structure the AAT thesaurus.

Results
Several usability problems were found for each visual interface.
![Page 9: Linq 2013 session_red_1_martin_sanchez_garcia_marianos](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081907/546e7a31af795967298b573d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Results (II)
Three key problems beyond the visual interfaces’ usability:
Utility -What are the benefits of using these kind of interfaces?
Learnability - Will I have to learn how to use the interfaces & basics of KOS?
KOS Usability – I don’t understand the classification scheme!
Utility
KOS Usability
Learnability

Conclusions
Visualization techniques could be a very helpful tool for learning /
educational repositories using KOS.
To reach this goal an important effort on the usability side must be
done .
There are 3 key problems that prevent users from widely adopting
them.
Making efforts trying to solve other usability problems in an
implemented interface will most probably be useless if these key
problems are not solved first.
