Big Policy Canvas Research Roadmap

excerpt from: What are the Research Challenges for the use of Big Data in Policy Making?

[...] * Making sense and extracting meaning of data can be achieved by placing them in a visual context: patterns, trends and correlations that might go undetected in text-based data can be exposed and recognized easier with data visualization software.

True, visualization is powerful. It's just that in many cases it's impossible to go in the same detail that algorithms and "core" mathematics can go.

Visualisations constitute important representations of big datasets that facilitate sense-making by non-expert users. See: H. Vornhagen's work on governance dashboards.
