Extending a dashboard meta-model to account for users’ characteristics and goals for enhancing personalization

[EN]Information dashboards are useful tools for exploiting datasets and support decision-making processes. However, these tools are not trivial to design and build. Information dashboards not only involve a set of visualizations and handlers to manage the presented data, but also a set of users that...
