Entries with a blue dash could not be determined from literature. Categories include remote visualization which we define as the possibility to run a view in a network setup. Extensibility we define as the possibility to add views without changing the source code. Non-relational data refers to the capability of handling heterogeneous data. Workflow integration means to control consumers within the modeling environment. 3D visualization allows for 3D rendering of spatial data and streaming capabilities indicate whether the method is known to stream data from solvers.
