Abstract:   

End-users are accustomed to filtering and browsing styled collections of data   on professional web sites, but they have few ways to create and publish such   information architectures for themselves. This paper presents a   full-lifecycle analysis of the Exhibit framework---an end-user tool which   provides such functionality---to understand the needs, capabilities, and   practices of this class of users. We include interviews, as well as analysis   of over 1,800 visualizations and 200,000 web interactions with these   visualizations. Our analysis reveals important findings about this user   population which generalize to the task of providing better end-user   structured content publication tools.
