without better sensemaking to drive

these feedback loops…

Plateau of Diminished Promise

outline for remainder of talk

1. OPEN INFOVIS FOR SENSEMAKING (DEBORAH)

2. PERSONAL EVIDENCE ARCHITECTURE (IDA)

3. OPENMHEALTH.ORG (DAVID)

open infovis for sensemaking

infovis architecture

INFOVIS IS A SET OF TOOLS FOR ANALYSIS AND VISUALIZATION OF INFORMATION

ARCHITECTURE IMPLIES SYSTEMIC, STRUCTURAL, AND ORDERLY PRINCIPLES TO MAKE SOMETHING WORK (SAUL WURMAN)

BY DRIVING THE INFOVIS ARCHITECTURE THROUGH CONCRETE APPLICATIONS WE’RE ABLE TO CATALYZE RAPID EVOLUTION, VALIDATION, AND SHARING OF SENSEMAKING TECHNIQUES

data processing units (DPU)

DPU: WEB SERVICE THAT PERFORMS DATA TRANSFORMATION • EACH DPU EXECUTES ONE TASK (E.G., SMOOTHING,

FEATURE EXTRACTION, …)• APIS DEFINE DATA INPUT AND OUTPUT FORMATS• STANDARDIZED META-DATA IDENTIFY COMMON

PARAMETERS

CAN BE CHAINED TO CREATE PROCESSING PIPELINE

REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATIONS IN PROGRESS USING R AND JAVA (HTTP://OPENCPU.ORG)

data visualization units (DVU)

DVU: BROWSER RENDERED CLIENT SOFTWARE • MODULAR, REUSABLE VISUALIZATION COMPONENTS• WELL-DOCUMENTED INTERFACES• TAILOR USER EXPERIENCE WITH SPECIAL INFOGRAPHIC

UNITS

REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATION USING HTML5 AND JAVASCRIPT• INTERFACE TO DPUS WITH JSON OVER HTTP
