| {{Quotation|Information visualization, an increasingly important subdiscipline within [[HCI (Human-Computer Interaction)|HCI]], focuses on graphical mechanisms designed to show the structure of information and improve the cost of access to large data repositories. In printed form, information visualization has included the display of numerical data (e.g., bar charts, plot charts, pie charts), combinatorial relations (e.g., drawings of graphs), and geographic data (e.g., encoded maps). Computer-based systems, such as the information visualizer and [[Dynamic query|dynamic queries]] have added interactivity and new visualization techniques (e.g., 3D, animation).|[Averbuch, 2004]}}

Much of the work in this field focuses on creating innovative graphical displays for complicated datasets, such as census results, scientific data, and databases.

Visualization techniques include selective hiding of data, layering data, taking advantage of 3-dimensional space, using scaling techniques to provide more space for more important information (e.g. Fisheye views), and taking advantage of psychological principles of layout, such as proximity, alignment, and shared visual properties (e.g. color).|[Usability First, 2003]}}

| {{Quotation|'''Information visualization''', sometimes called InfoVis, is a special kind of visualization. Visualization is a part of computer graphics, which is in turn a subset of computer science.<br><br>Visualization is defined as follows [Card et al., 1998]: Visualization is the use of interactive visual representations of data to amplify cognition. This means that the data is transformed into an image, it is mapped to screen space. The image can be changed by users as they proceed working with it. This interaction is important as it allows for constant redefinition of goals when new insight into the data has been gained.<br><br>Visualization makes use of what is called external [[cognition]] [Card et al., 1998]. External resources are used for thinking. People are relieved from having to imagine everything. Instead they can just look at an image. This is only possible because human vision has a very large bandwidth, the largest of all senses [Card et al., 1998].<br><br>Information visualization is visualization of [[abstract data]]. This is data that has no inherent mapping to space. Examples for abstract data are the results of a survey or a database of the staff of a company containing names, addresses, salary and other attributes.<br><br>Information visualization should be seen in contrast to [[Scientific Visualization|scientific visualization]], which deals with physically-based data. This kind of data is defined in reference to space coordinates, which makes it relatively easy to visualize in an intuitive way. The space coordinates in the dataset are mapped to screen coordinates. Examples are geographic data and computer tomography data of a body.<br><br>Visualization of abstract data is not straightforward. One has to find a good way to map data values to screen space. It makes a difference whether the data is structured or unstructured. Examples for structured data are networks, software, and algorithms. This kind of data does not play a role in this thesis, only unstructured data is used here.<br><br>Unstructured data is a collection of records with a number of different criteria in each record. The records can be, for instance, the individual fish in a fish-catch. Of each fish the following criteria can be recorded: species, weight, sex, and different measurements of length [...]. The records are arranged in rows, the criteria make up the columns of a table. The records are also called observations. The criteria are sometimes called variables, and sometimes dimensions.

| {{Quotation|In [[Information Visualization|information visualization]], the graphical models may represent [[Abstract data|abstract]] concepts and relationships that do not necessarily have a counterpart in the physical world, e.g., information describing user accesses to pages of an Internet portal or records describing selected properties of different car brands and models. Typically, each data unity describes multiple related attributes (usually more than four) that are not of a spatial or temporal nature. Although spatial and temporal attributes may occur, the data exists in an abstract (conceptual) data space.|[Ferreira and Levkowitz, 2003]}}

| == Overview ==
| |
| | |
| Application of information visualization on the computer involves providing means to transform and represent data in a form that allows and encourages human interaction. Data can therefore be analyzed by [[exploratory data analysis|''exploration'']] rather than pure reasoning; users can develop understanding for structures and connections in the data by observing the immediate effects their interaction has upon the visualization.
