A Tour Through the Visualization Zoo Jeffrey Heer, Michael Bostock, and Vadim Ogievetsky Stanford University Introduction Thanks to advances in sensing, networking, and data management, our society is producing digital information at an astonishing rate. According to one estimate, in 2010 alone we will generate 1,200 exabytes — 60 million times the Library of Congress.
Visual Mapping – The Elements of Information Visualization Information visualization requires mapping data in a visual or occasionally auditory format for the user of the visualization. This can be challenging because while some data has a spatial relationship built in (for example, temperatures in cities around a country) many data sets don’t have a traditional spatial relationship (for example, salaries within an organization). Henry D Hubbard, who was a member of the US Bureau of Standards in the 1920s, said; “There is a magic in graphs. The profile of a curve reveals in a flash a whole situation — the life history of an epidemic, a panic, or an era of prosperity.
Data Visualization for Human Perception 35. Data Visualization for Human Perception by Stephen Few Data visualization is the graphical display of abstract information for two purposes: sense-making (also called data analysis) and communication. How to Design an Information Visualization Designing information visualizations offers you endless possibilities when it comes to end products and it would be impossible to provide step-by-step instructions for all these possibilities. However, it is fair to say that while the end products may vary dramatically – the process by which we reach the best possible end product is consistently the same.

30 Simple Tools For Data Visualization There have never been more technologies available to collect, examine, and render data. Here are 30 different notable pieces of data visualization software good for any designer’s repertoire. They’re not just powerful; they’re easy to use. In fact, most of these tools feature simple, point-and-click interfaces, and don’t require that you possess any particular coding knowledge or invest in any significant training. Let the software do the hard work for you.
Archives & Museum Informatics: Museums and the Web 2010: Papers: Urban, R. et al., Designing and Developing a Collections Dashboard Introduction When users go on-line in search of cultural heritage information, more likely than not their first stop is a major search engine. When they search this way, they have some expectation that the scope of their search is anything on the Internet. They may not be specifically looking for your collection, but something you have may attract their attention. If you are lucky, users might be familiar with your museum and its collections, but in many cases it is as if they have been dropped from the sky into the middle of your galleries.

Coupling Ontologies with Graphics Content for Knowledge Driven Visualization - IEEE Conference Publication 1 Introduction In this paper, we present an interoperable framework for the integration of virtual reality scenes with semantic information and methodologies and tools for the exploitation of this rich framework for many highly desirable functionalities like semantic querying, interaction, personalization and construction of scenes with inference. The semantic enrichment of scenes can play an extremely important role in enabling the viewers to query, understand and interact with the usually complex and incomprehensible visualized information, in simple, intuitive and user-friendly ways and allowing them to identify 3D objects or sets of them based on their graphical and semantic properties and relationships with other objects in the scene at a time.
