Abstract
Geographic visualizations, like choropleth maps, are used to visualize data on geographic
regions. In this thesis a choropleth map was implemented to display quantities of
publications of scientific texts and papers. With the use of a choropleth map the viewer
is able to interpret how quantitative data changes on different geographic regions. The
main feature that distinguishes the implemented choropleth map from conventional ones
is the use of map navigation. The choropleth map can be zoomed and panned to different
map regions. What makes this map navigation so special is the use of semantic zooming
to allow the level of detail of the map to change on discrete zoom steps. The change
of the level of detail means that administrative regions are being divided into smaller
administrative regions which are than again colorized individually to create a new, more
detailed, choropleth map. Other interactions with the choropleth map are introduced
additionally. The other interactions with the map range from the manipulation of the
map appearance to filtering the displayed data set.
