Big Policy Canvas Research Roadmap

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

[...] * How can big data visualization and visual analytics help policy makers? First, generate high involvement of citizens in policy-making. One of the main applications of visualization is in making sense of large datasets and identifying key variables and causal relationships in a non-technical way. Similarly, it enables non-technical users to make sense of data and interact with them.

is not the visualisation that generate the involvment of citizens! data visualisation may help and make easier to accesss to data but is not sufficient

Causal relationships are usually hidden and visualizations cannot bring them forward.
