Datavisualisation : ce n’est que le début !
La datavisualisation, un langage « pop » La visualisation de données, auparavant limitée à la recherche et au monde scientifique, s’est démocratisée pour devenir "pop culture". Elle s’adapte à une culture dans laquelle on scanne plus qu’on ne lit. Elle offre un mode de représentation de l’information plus rapide et plus impactant que le texte descriptif. "Il faut s’extraire de l’anecdote et du flux pour dégager les tendances", complète Delphine Pinel, Directrice associée de l’agence Angie. La datavisualisation, un langage interactif "La visualisation doit devenir interactive pour plonger l’usager dans le jeu avec les données", indique Delphine Pinel. Acteur de l’information, l’internaute adopte un changement de posture par rapport à l’internaute / lecteur traditionnel. La datavisualisation, un langage de datas… et de mots Nous l’avons vu : face à l’abondance des données, il est devenu impératif de leur apporter du sens.
6 Gorgeous Facebook Visualizations
Like every complex network, Facebook offers unlimited possibilities of visual representation of the various connections between its users. We've chosen six beautiful visualizations that will awaken the (visual) geek within you. You don't have to stop at merely watching. Some of the visualizations on the list come with tools that you can use to create beautiful Facebook visualizations of your own with very little effort. Know of a beautiful Facebook visualization? 1. This project visualizes all the data Facebook receives, on a global scale. 2. This wonderful illustration, created by Lee Byron from the Facebook data team, shows how Facebook has evolved from being a social network for universities to the global social networking powerhouse it is today, with over 200 million users. 3. Friend Wheel is a simple Facebook application that creates a radial graph out of all your Facebook friends. 4. 5. Still images really don't do justice to this one. 6.
Chicago builds ETL toolkit for open data -- GCN
Chicago builds ETL toolkit for open data By Stephanie KanowitzJan 16, 2015 Data officials in Chicago are churning out open datasets faster than ever by using technology rather than developers to get the job done. About a year ago, the city government embedded Pentaho Data Integration (PDI), a graphical extract-transform-load (ETL) tool with pre-built and custom components to process big data, into its OpenData ETL Utility Kit. The kit provides several utilities and a framework to help governments extract data from a database and upload it to an open data portal using automated ETL processes. Before working with PDI, city workers updated datasets manually, said Jon Levy, open data program manager at the Chicago Department of Innovation and Technology. That also meant Java developers were spending time on updates rather than writing applications that could help city workers and residents, added Tom Schenk, the city’s chief data officer. Chicago’s toolkit is free to download. About the Author

SocialAction
SocialAction is a social network analysis tool that integrates visualization and statistics to improve the analytical process. A journal article about SocialAction was recently published in IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications. See the full details in the papers below. SocialAction won a VAST Mini-Challenge award for uncovering hidden structure in social networks over time. There are also two recent conference publications about SocialAction! Overview SocialAction aims to help researchers understand their social network data. Although both statistical methods and visualizations have been used by network analysts, exploratory data analysis remains a challenge. Users can For each operation, a stable node layout is maintained in the network visualization so users can make comparisons.

GPS-Prot visualization platform The GPS-Prot visualization platform by the HARC Center at UCSF uses TouchGraph Navigator to display display HIV-Host interactions or the Human interactome. Melanie Bennett Brewer and Marie Fahey worked with TouchGraph to develop GPS-Prot GPSProt.org, a web based tool that groups proteins into functional modules or protein complexes, generating more intuitive network representations and also allows for the uploading of user-generated data. A published article in BMC Bioinformatics provides more information about this application. NY Times: Your Life in Graphs New York Times article by Peter Wayner features the TouchGraph Facebook visualization, along with other tools for "Illustrating Your Life in Graphs and Charts".
