What Information Visualization is:

“The use of computer-supported, interactive, visual representations

of abstract data to amplify cognition” (Readings in Information

Visualization, edited by S. Card, J Mckinley and B. Shneiderman.

San Francisco: Morgan Kaufmann,1999)

“Visualization refers to the design of the visual appearance of data

objects and their relationship” (Borner, Chen & Boyack, 2003, 209)

•Why is the information visualization important:

●Allows the handling of large data sets under the time pressure

●Encourage the eye to compare different pieces of data and reveal

the data at several levels of detail

●Easy extraction of charts and reports
