Can you guys see great conceptual differences between "data visualization" and 'information visualization'?
Here's a slight distinction: http://www.visual-literacy.org/periodic_table/periodic_table.html I've seen these two definitions in some publications, but both are used to explain the same thing. For example: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_visualization) "Practical application of information visualization in computer programs involves selecting, transforming and representing abstract data" Very briefly, I think that "data visualization" refers to quantitative, raw stuff. "Information visualization" refers to more conceptual models, like diagrams, flows, mind maps... What do you think about that? -- Daniel Melo Ribeiro http://www.danielmelo.net -- Daniel Melo Ribeiro http://www.danielmelo.net ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
