2. VISUALIZATION
Matthew Ward, Georges Grinstein, and Daniel
Keim (2010), p. 1) define visualization as “the
communication of information using graphical
representations.” There is a wide range of visual-
ization techniques that still grows along with the
developments in computing and information tech-
nology. Visualization techniques help understand
complex data, communicate, and navigate on the
web (Marchese & Banissi, 2013). They support ex-
ploring data (such as one-, two-, three-dimensional
data, temporal and multi-dimensional data, and
tree and network data). Ward, Grinstein, & Keim

Your Reaction and Visual Answer: Construct Knowledge Base for your Theme
While you already have your data set and some meaningful information about the objects of your interest, you are ready to construct knowl-
edge about the theme of your activity and then write or visually present your knowledge you have gained from information you gathered.
You will need to perform some cognitive and analytical activity to make information useful for finding some relations, reasons, explanations,
and solutions: how does the preferred fashion of shoes depend on activities of the owners, are your water drinking habits good for you,
how the planets got their names, or is it really warmer now. The product of this project would be just knowledge constructed on the basis
of information gained from the data you have collected.
