1. Type of auditory display, sonification, data representation
Interface (e.g. GUI, auditory icons)
Data
Alarms
Other

2. Was the paper targeting the blind population specifically?
Yes   No   N/A

3. Data type
Discrete
Continuous

Boolean (2 different categories; e.g. yes or no)
Nominal (difference without order; e.g. banana, apple orange)
Ordinal (difference and order; e.g. low, medium, high)
Interval (difference, order and metric; e.g. Celsius temperature scale)
Ratio (difference, order, metric and natural zero)
Time Series

Unknown
None (No data are involved)
Other

4. What was sonified?
Descriptive information on variables (mean, standard deviation, etc.)
          Number of variables
Relationships
         2D    3D    Multi-D  Tree (hierarchical)
Categories, objects, individual items
          
Other

5. Size of the data set
Small   Medium    Large    Any

6. Of the data, what part of the data set needs to be sonified?
Part of data set - specifically, if a data set has several variables and only one or two of those variables was sonified (i.e. of a data set on weather, when only the rain data needs to be sonified) 
Individual elements - if one element of a data set was sonified (i.e. in a time series data set, when a particular value is reached)
Entire data set
Not Applicable

7. Is there a corresponding visual graph for the data?
No
Pie graph
Line graph
Histogram
Scatterplot
Box plot
Bar graph
Time Series
Diagram
Other

8. Type of task
Real-time monitoring/Awareness
Exploration
Pattern recognition and matching
Extracting detailed information
Spatial (Navigation/Location)
Alerting
Active feedback on actions
Other

9. Task situation
Desktop - office, control room
Cabin - cockpit, car, train
Mobile - on the street, up a pole, underwater
Other

10. Task domain (e.g. gas exploration, stock market, surgical planning)

11. Context
High attentional load
Eyes busy
Temporally Sensitive (temporal patterns or short events)
In parallel with another auditory display
As a background dispaly
Supplementing a visual display
Supplementing a tactile display
Supplementing a vocal display
Supplementing a text display
Other

12. Duration of use for the auditory display
Continuous
Short episodes
Any duration
Other

METHODS AND PRINCIPLES

1. Key design principles/Recommendations (if there is no clear recommendation, put part of the abstract or conclusions for this).

2. Clarity of the recommendations from the paper
     not at all clear          very clear

3. Type of paper
Experimental (Paper reporting the results of an experimental study)
Review (Paper reviewing and summarizing the results of related papers)
Case study (Paper reporting on a single case)
Demonstration (Paper discussing a new technology or sonification methodology)
Theoretical
Other

4. Approach
Semiotic (Relating to signs or symbols)
Syntactic (Structurally ordered sounds)
Semantic (Sounds with different meanings)
Perceptual (Display design explicitly structured around perceptual attributes)
Analog (isomorphic mapping between changes in sound and changes in data)
Metaphoric (A sound dimension conceived as representing a conceptual)
Other

5. Equipment required for the auditory display
Computer sound card
Outboard music hardware
Custom system
Other

6. Coder (initials)
