User-Centered Data Management

by Tiziana Catarci, Alan Dix, Stephen Kimani

This lecture covers several core issues in user-centered data management, including how to design usable interfaces that suitably support database tasks, and relevant approaches to visual querying, information visualization, and visual data mining. Novel interaction paradigms, e.g., mobile and interfaces that go beyond the visual dimension, are also discussed.

The visual query section provides insightful historical context. Other than that, the data visualization section is probably better covered in specialized books, and the semantic web section has limited depth. I didn't get much out of it.
