table, database, network, geo-spatial, time series, 3D model
text, image, video, sound -> must be structured to be visualized :D
Structured data (variables) goes to+ visual/graphical form (visuals)
Visualization of data in different functionalities for the research process:
I am interested in the data set in general and try to pose undirected questions to the data by different designs of visualization (–> targeted array with different parameters that are changed according to a certain pattern).
I am specifically pursuing an assumption and would like to work out a significance (accumulation) or correlation (context). Perhaps I have worked out a clue by explorative data analysis, which I can now track down with a modified data set in a confirmatory analysis.
Here I present data to a public. The focus is on a very specific aspect, which I would like to present visually within the scientific argumentation. As the term “explanation” already says, an argument, a relationship is explained, but the visualization also has a proving character.
Explorative and confirmatory analysis foster gain in knowledge, explanatory analysis explains this knowledge.
Visualization of information as in different points of view:
Visualization of information is interconnected in the resarch process
These four steps are interdependent phases. They have to be thought of as biderectional dependencies and can’t be imagined as seperated actions. For the sake of a good visualizaton we have to take care of two premises: comparability and consistency of data.
