Understanding Informational Visualization And Abstract Data

By Diane Williams


Individuals working in the field of abstract data and data analysis often have to review a cumbersome amount of data at one time. Often known as informational visualization, the process is basically to provide multiple amounts of data at a time whether through flow charts, columns or tables. As the data includes non-numerical and numerical data, it can often be difficult to display the information in ways which are easy to read.

While a rather new field, information visualization has emerged from a number of pre-existing areas. For example, business methods, psychology, visual design, graphics, computer science, human computer interaction have all contributed to this new area of technology. Most believe the advances in documentation analysis and technology will only grow in the future.

Basically, this new area is framed in a way that provides a visual aspect that allows users to view large amounts of information at one time. Similar to flow charts and graphs, it allows for the conveying of information in new and exciting ways. Often known as data analysis, the process is indispensable when it comes to trouble shooting and problem solving in the industry.

Machine learning, tree maps, scatter plots and data mining are all aspects of this type of visualization. In many cases, the application is only limited by human creativity, understanding and imagination. As such, while the application has gone through several reviews and upgrades, it is one which will most likely only grow in the future.

While most companies still require a college education, there are others whom will exchange education for experience. In most cases, those doing so often offer new employees the opportunity for a number of opportunities and workshops which can provide a great deal of understanding in regards to this ever growing field. In others, companies will offer to provide all or part of the tuition for those interesting in starting or completing work towards an Associates or Bachelors degree.

With regards to the brief history of the process, it started with basic computer graphics. Since that time, it has become an active part of the scientific community and many other areas. Although, the lack of ability with regards to graphics and sound enhancements, such as that provided by sound and video cards today was somewhat prohibitive in the beginning.

Computer graphics and data analysis have now become a necessity in not only the scientific field but in many others. In fact, there are now a number of conventions and conferences which have workshops, panels, career opportunities and forums related solely to data analysis. Whereas, data analysis, graphic development and design have become a mainstay in the field of Internet Technology.

Following the inception into the scientific field, the application has now become involved in digital libraries, data mining, information graphics, finance, health care, market studies, manufacturing and production control, crime mapping and policy modeling. As such, this type of visualization and abstract data have now gone where no data has gone before.
