Abstract

The work aims to explore an information visualization design method based on the stratified theory of object-carried information, to enhance the cultural information reception efficiency of knowledge-seeking users, so as to address the disconnection between professional interpretation and public cognition in the communication of museum object-carried information. A hierarchical visualization model was constructed using the three-layer framework of object-carried information (ontology, derivative, and circulation) under the dual guidance of visual thinking and cognitive thinking. Through the extraction and hierarchical structuring of bronze pattern-related object-carried information, design practices were conducted across four dimensions: graphic symbols, textual annotations, color coding, and comprehensive layout, verifying the mapping mechanism between information hierarchy and cognitive needs. The research demonstrated that the stratified design of museum object-carried information significantly optimized information retrieval efficiency, reduced cognitive load, and facilitated a natural transition for audiences from "form perception" to "cultural interpretation". It effectively guided knowledge-seeking users in acquiring key information, deepened their understanding of the functional evolution and historical context of object-loaded information, and promoted the transformation of fragmented information into systematic knowledge. In conclusion, the stratified visualization design of museum object-carried information effectively bridges the cognitive gap between professionals and the public, enriches the synergistic communication ecosystem of "object-human-medium", and provides an actionable pathway for cultural heritage dissemination.
