ABSTRACT
Linking of multiple data views offers a powerful approach to visualization as well as communication of structure in high-dimensional data. The early systems were incredibly sophisticated, but the interactive graphics they produce are not easily shared, replicated, or incorporated in a larger document. Web technologies offer the infrastructure to address these issues, which is a big reason why many modern interactive graphics systems are web based. A web application relies on a client-server relationship where the client’s web browser requests content from a remote server. This model is necessary whenever the webpage needs to execute computer code that is not natively supported by the client’s web browser.
