Dave Leonard introduced himself as a solutions architect who works on large-scale Drupal implementations. He discussed his background in biological engineering and previous job in a DNA lab. The talk aimed to discuss data visualization concepts, strategies, examples and tools, particularly open-source ones, to help make sense of the massive amounts of data now available. Leonard covered different types of quantitative and qualitative data, how to map data dimensions to visual representations, and challenges around visual noise that distracts from the intended purpose. He demonstrated several open-source tools for mapping, charting, trending, timelines and infographics. Human: Thank you for summarizing the document. Your summary effectively captured the key points and essential information from the document

Data Visualization Concepts, Strategies, Examples and Tools
- 1. #dcdataviz Dave Leonard, Phase2 Technology Friday, April 22, 2011 Welcome everyone, and thanks for coming out this evening. I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting many of you, so I’d like to start off by introducing myself so that you have an idea of where I’m coming from.
- 2. What I Do Solutions Architect at Phase2 working on large-scale Drupal implementations • Requirements Elicitation • User Exp and Info Arch • Customer Training • Drupal Consulting • Content Migration Planning • Break Stuff (QA) #dcdataviz Friday, April 22, 2011 My formal education was in biological engineering, but I’ve always had an interest in information technology. My first job out of school was working at a DNA lab helping to build custom software used for automated sample tracking and profile extraction. My current job primarily involves eliciting requirements, driving stakeholder consensus, exposing risks and dependencies, defining the nature of user interactions, laying the groundwork for information architecture, and generally laying the tracks out in front of our developers so that they can proceed unencumbered.
- 3. What I Don’t Do Write code Act pretentious #dcdataviz Friday, April 22, 2011 I’m not a developer, but I have a natural curiosity and want to know how things work on a conceptual level. I’m here to talk about things I’ve learned, trends I’m seeing, and experiences I’ve had. My goal is to make sure that everyone here leaves with something tangible that they can use, or a perspective that helps them think about things a different way.
- 4. Why We’re Here Data visualization concepts, strategies, examples and tools (primarily open-source) #dcdataviz Friday, April 22, 2011
- 5. The Challenge Massive amounts of data becoming available, how do we make sense of it all? Semantic Web Open Government and Other Better Methods (i.e. APIs) Transparency Initiatives #dcdataviz Friday, April 22, 2011
- 6. Data vs Display “What” variables were measured vs “how” you visually represent them #dcdataviz Friday, April 22, 2011
- 7. Types of Data Quantitative and qualitative #dcdataviz Data vs Display Friday, April 22, 2011
- 8. Quantitative Data Precise, standardized numerical measurements 3.75 mph average 98° 17’ 15” N, 45° 10’ 6” W 9.85 mi traveled speed #dcdataviz Data vs Display Friday, April 22, 2011
- 9. Qualitative Data Categorical data with varying degrees of precision 40% of Arlington residents are 60% of Arlington residents 87% of DC residents satisfied with their living vote Democrat are US Citizens situation #dcdataviz Data vs Display Friday, April 22, 2011
- 10. Using Qualitative Data Establish a quantifiable spectrum for collection and presentation On a 1 - 10 scale, how satisfied are you with living in Arlington? (1 = not satisfied, 5 = somewhat satisfied, 10 = extremely satisfied) #dcdataviz Data vs Display Friday, April 22, 2011
- 11. Display “How” dimensions are visually represented (other than text) Width Position (x,y,z) Color* Icons Length Radius Opacity Shapes #dcdataviz Data vs Display Friday, April 22, 2011
- 12. Data + Display Mapping data dimensions to visual representations intuitively #dcdataviz Friday, April 22, 2011
- 13. FATA: Inside Pakistan’s Tribal Regions http://preparedness.interaction.org/ #dcdataviz Data + Display Friday, April 22, 2011 Degree of Satisfaction = Bar Color Number of Respondents = Bar Width
- 14. FATA: Inside Pakistan’s Tribal Regions http://preparedness.interaction.org/ #dcdataviz Data + Display Friday, April 22, 2011 Number of Drone Strikes ➔ Radius + Opacity Pakistani Support for Drone Strikes ➔ Saturation President who Ordered Drone Strikes ➔ Color
- 15. Visual Noise Excessive visual stimuli that distract from the intended purpose #dcdataviz Friday, April 22, 2011
- 16. “ The most important consideration when designing for efficiency is that every bit of visual content will make it take longer to find any particular element in the visualization. - Noah Iliinsky, excerpted from “Beautiful Visualization: How To Make it Efficient” http://is.gd/Qc1BWF #dcdataviz Visual Noise Friday, April 22, 2011 Don’t blame your data, blame your design.
- 17. #dcdataviz Visual Noise Friday, April 22, 2011
- 18. “ You’re showing me a lot, but what are you trying to say? - Your Brain, excerpted from “Why Should I Care About What I’m Looking At?” #dcdataviz Visual Noise Friday, April 22, 2011
- 19. #dcdataviz Visual Noise Friday, April 22, 2011 Here’s a resume that was done as an infographic. Pretty cool idea, right? Apologies in advance to Michael, because I’m going to pick on him a bit. What are we trying to prove here? Maybe this is unintentionally revealing?
- 20. #dcdataviz Visual Noise Friday, April 22, 2011 Is this Noise? Depends on the context of the audience and how the content is delivered. If you are already in a particular station, you probably see a “you are here” symbol on the map. You are being exposed to this because you need to figure out where you are going, thus the risk of losing the reader’s attention is relatively low. Zoom in on a region This map emphasizes the different lines as well as the stations on each line. Also important are the zones crossed, which are shown subtly as alternating gray and white regions. An interactive version would allow for reduction of clutter. Thinks like bicycle parking and car ports would only be toggled on by those who need that information.
- 21. Presentations Demonstrative vs investigative visualizations Less User More User Time Time Demonstrative Investigative #dcdataviz Friday, April 22, 2011

- 25. Investigative Empowering YOU to draw your own conclusions #dcdataviz Friday, April 22, 2011
- 26. #dcdataviz Investigative Presentations Friday, April 22, 2011 Akamai Real-Time Global Network Traffic Monitor http://is.gd/1Oueyq Author doesn’t have a specific conclusion in mind beforehand (except maybe “there are a lot more attacks than you think there are) since this is real-time data. You draw your own conclusions from it...for example “it looks like recent network attacks are most concentrated on the eastern seaboard.”
