Improve Knowledge Visualization through an Interactive Graph-based Dashboard System with Key Performance Indicator: A Case Study of University Dashboard for Higher Education

We propose a novel approach of knowledge visualization
technique by generating knowledge through a graph-based
clustering technique, incorporating tacit knowledge and finally
visualizing the knowledge in dashboard form. Three aspects are
emphasized: clustering technique, knowledge visualization and
domain knowledge interaction. Clustering technique with the
feature vectors helps user to mine data from the enterprise
database for pattern recognition. The knowledge visualization
helps users to analyze the comprehensive characteristics of the
objects under study. Subsequently, domain knowledge interaction
shall enable the human’s perceptual capabilities to be transferred,
thus increases the intelligence of the system. The knowledge
visualization is enhanced through the dashboard concept which
incorporated with Key Performance Indicator where it provides
significant patterns of knowledge on real-world. The framework
consists of the knowledge visualization model and a prototype
system design for higher education environment is presented in
this paper.
