We have identified three different pieces of info that are needed to construct visualization toolkit pipelines:
1. data formats (e.g., netCDF)
2. data structure types (e.g. unstructured points)
3. data semantic types (gravity data)

VisKo uses (1) to chain visualization operators together that form a pipeline. VisKo also relies on (2) to set appropriate parameters for the chained operators. We NEED to consider (2) when chaining operators together, especially in cases when a format can house many different data structures.
