  1. MAT 259 Visualizing Information Discipline Specific Definitions George Legrady

  2. Discipline Specific Visualizations Each discipline has a particular implementation goal • Information Visualization: Analyzing and transforming nonspatial data into visual form for cognition • Scientific Visualization: Map physical phenomena in 2D, or 3D • Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Cartographic framework, a familiar way to map data • LIS: citation indexing, bibliographic indexing, etc. • Art: Aesthetics, complexity, culturally meaningful results • Architecture: to convey information & affect George Legrady

  3. Information Visualization • Visually map abstract, non-spatial data to analyze and understand data. • Focus on abstract data sets that do not have inherent 2D or 3D geometrical properties on their own • A general term that can cover a broad range of developments: data visualization, information graphics, knowledge visualization, etc. • A creative approach to convey abstract information in intuitive ways. • Involves processing of large datasets as a means to reveal meaningful patterns. George Legrady

  7. Scientific Visualization • Interdisciplinary branch of science, concerned with visualizing 3D or time based phenomena • Emphasis on realistic rendering of volume, surfaces, illumination sources • Mapping phenomena such as medical biological meteorological systems • Graphical representation of numerical data for qualitative and quantitative analysis • Computer simulation of abstract models of a system, mathematical modeling of natural systems from physics, chemistry, biology, George Legrady

  8. Scientific Visualization George Legrady

  9. GIS (Geographical Information Systems) • Any information system that integrates stores, analyzes, displays geographical information • Analyze spatial information, maps • Cartography: Combines science, aesthetics, and technical processes to communicate information. • Cartographic modeling: Uses topology, and attribute information George Legrady

  10. MAPPING: handmaps.org George Legrady

  11. LIS (Library Information Science) • LS applies practices, perspectives, tools of information technology and management to libraries • Focus on how people interact with classification systems and technology • How information is acquired, evaluated, and classified • Citation indexing, bibliographic indexing George Legrady
