Data Science: Data Visualization (Definitions)

"Technique for presentation and analysis of data through visual objects, such as graphs, charts, images, and specialized tabular formats." (Paulraj Ponniah, "Data Warehousing Fundamentals", 2001)

"Technique for presentation and analysis of data through visual objects, such as graphs, charts, images, and specialized tabular formats." (Paulraj Ponniah, "Data Warehousing Fundamentals for IT Professionals", 2010) 

"Visual representation of data, aiming to convey as much information as possible through visual processes." (Alfredo Vellido & Iván Olie, "Clustering and Visualization of Multivariate Time Series", 2010)

"Techniques for graphical representation of trends, patterns and other information." (DAMA International, "The DAMA Dictionary of Data Management", 2011)

"Information abstracted in a schematic form to provide visual insights into sets of data. Data visualization enables us to go from the abstract numbers in a computer program (ones and zeros) to visual interpretation of data. Text visualization means converting textual information into graphic representation, so we can see information without having to read the data, as tables, histograms, pie or bar charts, or Cartesian coordinates." (Anna Ursyn, "Visualization as Communication with Graphic Representation", 2015)

"Presenting data and summary information using graphics, animation, and three-dimensional displays. Tools for visually displaying information and relationships often using dynamic and interactive graphics." (Daniel J Power & Ciara Heavin, "Decision Support, Analytics, and Business Intelligence" 3rd Ed., 2017)

"Data Visualization is a way of representing the data collected in the form of figures and diagrams like tables, charts, graphs in order to make the data for common man more easily understandable." (Kirti R Bhatele, "Data Analysis on Global Stratification", 2020)

"Techniques for turning data into information by using the high capacity of the human brain to visually recognize patterns and trends. There are many specialized techniques designed to make particular kinds of visualization easy." (Information Management)

"The art of communicating meaningful data visually. This can involve infographics, traditional plots, or even full data dashboards." (KDnuggets)

"The practice of structuring and arranging data within a visual context to help users understand it. Patterns and trends that might be unrecognizable to the layman in text-based data can be easily viewed and digested by end users with the help of data visualization software." (Insight Software)

"Data visualization enables people to easily uncover actionable insights by presenting information and data in graphical, and often interactive graphs, charts, and maps." (Qlik) [source]

"Data visualization is the graphical representation of data to help people understand context and significance. Interactive data visualization enables companies to drill down to explore details, identify patterns and outliers, and change which data is processed and/or excluded." (Tibco) [source]

"Data visualization is the practice of translating information into a visual context, such as a map or graph, to make data easier for the human brain to understand and pull insights from." (Techtarget) [source]

"Data visualization is the process of graphically illustrating data sets to discover hidden patterns, trends, and relationships in order to develop key insights. Data visualization uses data points as a basis for the creation of graphs, charts, plots, and other images." (Talend) [source]

"Data visualization is the use of graphics to represent data. The purpose of these graphics is to quickly and concisely communicate the most important insights produced by data analytics." (Xplenty) [source]
