One of the fundamental issues in information visualization is how to visually represent data that has no natural visual representation. In other words, how do we map abstract data onto the graphical elements that are used to convey the information? In this paper we present our strategy for automatically mapping timevarying abstract data onto the visual parameters that are used to display the information. We have devised a mapping engine that is based on a metadata characterization of the information, on the characteristics of the virtual worlds used to display the information, and also on the user task.
