"This IBM utility aims ‘to “democratize” visualisation and to enable a new social kind of data analysis'. Many Eyes allows registered users to upload their own data on the understanding that the data is made available to all. It also has the facility to visualise numeric data in a spatial manner (using the proprietary mapping utility World Map). Users can view (or create) topic hubs which are pages devoted to a particular topic or theme. It serves as a way to collect related visualisations and data sets."

Data360 embraces Web.2.0 concepts of participation and collaboration ‘to provide clear context on important cultural, environmental, social and economic issues’. By using ‘collaborative trend tracking’ Data360 allows organisations and users to create their own Data360 space, as well as to collaborate with others. The datasets held are predominantly aggregated and from the US, with sources including: US Environmental Protection Agency, National Science Foundation, US Geological Survey, Gallup, Federal Reserve, US Census Bureau, US Department of Energy. There are also datasets sourced from the World Bank, United Nations, the World Factbook Transparency International. The frequency of the datasets is mainly annual although some daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly data are also available.

Abstract:

This paper describes an ongoing research work on developing methods for effective visualisation
support for situation analysis, decision making, and communication in the course of disaster
management. The major goals are to reduce the information load of the analyst, decision maker, or
information recipient without omission of anything important and to ensure quick and accurate
comprehending of the information. The work embraces the issues of selection of the relevant
information and defining the appropriate level of detail, data preparation (aggregation and other
transformations), and selection of the appropriate methods for visual representation depending on the
user’s tasks or communication goals, recipient’s profile, and the target presentation medium. A
practical outcome from the research will be a knowledge base that can be used to support analysis,
decision making, and information communication in emergency situations. A great part of the
knowledge, specifically, knowledge on data transformation and representation, is generic and can be
used for different applications.
