Abstract
In sonification of scientific data, designers know very little about
the domain science and domain scientists are not familiar with the
sonification methodology. The knowledge about the domain science
is not given, but evolved during the problem-solving process.
We discuss design challenges in auditory display design regarding
user-centerdness and introduce an approach to involve domain scientists
throughout a sonification design. We explore this within a
workshop in which sonification experts, domain experts, and programmers
worked together to better understand and solve problems
collaboratively. The sonification framework that is used during
the workshops is briefly described and the workshop process
and how each group worked together during the workshop sessions
is examined. Participants worked on pre-defined and exploratory
tasks to sonify climate data. Resulting sonification prototypes and
workshop sessions are documented on a wiki and could be used
as a starting point for future sonification procedures. Furthermore,
the participants grasped each others’ domains; climate scientists
especially became more open to use auditory display and sonification
as a tool in their data mining tasks.
