Abstract: Information that can be transformed to visual form is of various types, and here it is proposed to develop a system that performs temporal visualisation of a user|s personal interest information. The system performs visualisation of the user|s profile recorded automatically from his browsing interest and visualises the search results of a search query which is a temporal data by applying the identified personalised user profile. Thus the system performs a user-centric temporal visualisation based on a novel Gestalt Visual Perception model (GVP model) as it focuses on a user|s personal interest that changes over a period of time.

Keywords: ontology visualisation; gestalt perception principles; personalised search; user-centric temporal visualisation; gestalt visual perception; browsing interest; user profile.
