Abstract

Data visualization has historically been accessible only to the elite in academia, business, and government. It was "serious" technology, created by experts for experts. In recent years, however, web-based visualizations--ranging from political art projects to news stories--have reached audiences of millions. Meanwhile, new initiatives in government, aimed at all citizens, point to an era of increased transparency.
