DHO:Discovery enables serendipitous discovery of related knowledge. By allowing for cross-collection browsing and searching we enable you to draw connections between data that would previously have existed in isolated silos of information. The Discovery interface also enables the leverage of advanced data visualisations that can allow for you to visually seek out patterns and linkage between data for further exploration.
Visualization is a technique to graphically represent sets of data. When data is large or abstract, visualization can help make the data easier to read or understand. There are visualization tools for search, music, networks, online communities, and almost anything else you can think of. Whether you want a desktop application or a web-based tool, there are many specific tools are available on the web that let you visualize all kinds of data.
