Abstract

Context and motivation: Infographics are an engaging medium for communication. Sometimes, organisations create several infographics with the same graphic design and different data; e.g., when reporting on impact measurement. Question/problem: The conventional process to produce such recurrent data-centric infographics causes rework related to the disconnection between software environments. Principal ideas/results: This paper redesigns the process following the model-driven engineering paradigm. We present a domain-specific language to model infographics, and an interpreter that generates the infographics automatically. We have been able to model and generate infographics that report impact measurement results, which the participants of a comparative experiment have found as attractive as the original ones, and that are hard, but not impossible, to distinguish from them. Contribution: An innovative model-driven approach that eliminates the software environment disconnection and could facilitate the use of data-centric infographics for reporting purposes.
