The Case for Data Visualization Management Systems
Summary: Proposes Ermac, a declarative Data Visualization Management System that compiles end-to-end visualization workflows into relational algebra, unifying database and rendering layers. Enables lineage-driven interaction and semantic optimizations—occlusion filtering, viewport-aware downsampling, and hybrid rendering—for massive interactive datasets.
