If you would like some simple data files that describe every InfoVis and VAST Conference paper in the history of those conferences, we have created such files and have made them now available for download. The files contain a simple xml-ish format describing each paper, its title and abstract, authors, conference, year, keywords, etc. We believe that the format will be easy to read and understand. Also available on the same site is a file containing information about CHI conference papers since 1999. You can download the files from the webpage http://www.cc.gatech.edu/gvu/ii/jigsaw/datafiles.html. We hope that these files will be useful to researchers in the community exploring new methods of visualizing and understanding collections of documents. Unfortunately, the data files do not include citation information. We would be happy to have someone add that information to the files, however. :^) --John
