This work provides incremental improvements to a theoretical framework for visual analytics researchers.
The paper amends an existing characterization of guidance in visual analytics by clarifying its definition and adding a missing conceptual link to the original model.
At VAST 2016, a characterization of guidance has been presented. It includes a definition of guidance and a model of guidance based on van Wijk's model of visualization. This note amends the original characterization of guidance in two aspects. First, we provide a clarification of what guidance actually is (and is not). Second, we insert into the model a conceptually relevant link that was missing in the original version.
