Brief description:
Weave is an interactive web-based analysis and visualization system. It links data (files, databases, sets, ...), multiple visualizations (maps, graphs, ...), and computational tools (statistics, data mining, modeling, simulation, ...). It was designed to provide easy access to existing data sets and simple upload of local data, allowing anyone to visualize any available data anywhere. Weave is open source - one less barrier to the democratization of data. In this webinar we will provide a rapid introduction to why visualization is useful, show several examples of Weave, show what it can do and its flexibility in not just data exploration or real-time monitoring, but also in its developing interactive presentation visualizations for the public. We will then show prototypes of future Weave features of applicable to both small and large government organizations. We will also answer questions throughout the presentation.
Learning objectives:
You will learn the role and value of visualization for data exploration and presentation. You will see a variety of visualizations. You will learn about Weave, a state of the art visual analytics system. You will learn about some key research questions in visualization and data analysis. You will see some state of the art visual analytics capabilities.
