The novelty is not the scroll-to-zoom interaction - it's the creation of a declarative grammar for several visualization types (see Figure 2 for examples), and a system that implements this in a way that is scalable to datasets containing billions of observations. The contributions claimed in the paper are [1]: > To summarize, we make the following contributions: > •An integrated system called Kyrix-S for declarative authoring and rendering of SSVs at scale. > •A concise and expressive declarative grammar for describing SSVs (Section 4). > •A framework for offline database indexing and online serving that enables interactive browsing of large SSVs (Sections 5 and 6).
