F1 Doing the Data Visualisation Competition Thing With Tata?

Sort of via @jottevanger, it seems that Tata Communications announces the first challenge in the F1® Connectivity Innovation Prize to extract and present new information from Formula One Management’s live data feeds. (The F1 site has a post Tata launches F1® Connectivity Innovation Prize dated “10 Jun 2014”? What’s that about then?)

Creating Olympic Medal Treemap Visualisations Using OTS R Libraries

In London Olympics 2012 Medal Tables At A Glance? I posted some treemap visualisations of the Olympics medal tables generated using a Google Visualisation Chart treemap component. I thought it might be worth posting a quick R generated example too, using the off-the-shelf/straight out of CRAN treemap component. (If you want to play along, download … Continue reading “Creating Olympic Medal Treemap Visualisations Using OTS R Libraries”

Pragmatic Visualisation – GDS Transaction Data as a Treemap

A week or two ago, the Government Data Service started publishing a summary document containing website transaction stats from across central government departments (GDS: Data Driven Delivery). The transactional services explorer uses a bubble chart to show the relative number of transactions occurring within each department: The sizes of the bubbles are related to the … Continue reading “Pragmatic Visualisation – GDS Transaction Data as a Treemap”

Practical Visualisation Tools Presentation: #CASEprog

Last week I gave a presentation at the DCMS describing some hands-on tools for getting started with creating data powered visualisations (Visualisation Tools to Support Data Engagement) at the invitation of the Arts Council’s James Doeser from the Arts Council in the context of the DCMS CASE (Culture and Sport Evidence) Programme, #CASEprog: I’ve also … Continue reading “Practical Visualisation Tools Presentation: #CASEprog”

Exporting and Displaying Scraperwiki Datasets Using the Google Visualisation API

In Visualising Networks in Gephi via a Scraperwiki Exported GEXF File I gave an example of how we can publish arbitrary serialised output file formats from Scraperwiki using the GEXF XML file format as a specific example. Of more general use, however, may be the ability to export Scraperwiki data using the Google visualisation API … Continue reading “Exporting and Displaying Scraperwiki Datasets Using the Google Visualisation API”

Creating Simple Interactive Visualisations in R-Studio: Subsetting Data

Watching a fascinating Google Tech Talk by Hadley Wickham on The Future of Interactive Graphics in R – A Joint Visualization and UseR Meetup, I was reminded of the manipulate command provided in R-Studio that lets you create slider and dropdown widgets that in turn let you dynamically interact with R based visualisations, for example … Continue reading “Creating Simple Interactive Visualisations in R-Studio: Subsetting Data”

Slides from OU Rise Library Analytics Workshop: Rambling about Visualisation

For what it’s worth, slides from my presentation yesterday… As ever, they’re largely pointless without commentary… … and even with the commentary, it was all a bit more garbled than usual (I forgot to breathe, had no real idea in my own mind what I wanted to say, etc etc…) On reflection, here’s what I … Continue reading “Slides from OU Rise Library Analytics Workshop: Rambling about Visualisation”

OU Related Courses Network Visualisation Using Protovis and Open University Open Data

This is something I’ve been meaning to do for ages, so spurred on by Martin Hawksey’s wonderful Google Gadgets port of my ad hoc Twitter network visulisation thing using Protovis (which Martin points out doesn’t work with IE9), I finally got round to it today: a wiring up of the OU modules Linked Data to … Continue reading “OU Related Courses Network Visualisation Using Protovis and Open University Open Data”

Google Visualisation API Controls Support Interactive Data Queries Within a Web Page

The only way I can keep up with updates to Google warez at the moment is to feed off tips, tricks and noticings shared by @mhawksey. Yesterday, Martin pointed put to me a couple of new controls offered by the Google visualization API – interactive dashboard controls (documentation), and an in-page chart editor. What the … Continue reading “Google Visualisation API Controls Support Interactive Data Queries Within a Web Page”
