From Data To Visualization
We’ve been using maps for informatics since the 1800’s
London Cholera Outbreak – John Snow
LONDON, 1854
In 3 days over 120 dead in London
John Snow was skeptical pollution
was the cause- so he mapped the
incidences and found patterns
London Cholera Outbreak- Early Spatial Analysis
Discovered all cases were clustered
around this pump
Early example of power of spatial
analysis/informatics
New spatial techniques enables Data Fusion
AnalysisDots on maps Synthesis of new
Success Story- Landsat, 1964
Producing big data before data was “big”
Landsat data collected en masse without knowing all the ways it would be used in
the future
Investment in Collection of Data -
Unknowns
Vision to collect data for
years/decades
Today we can unlock value of
data and put it to use
Value of Foresight
Without data
archives,
today’s studies
would be
impossible to
undertake

Editor's Notes

  1. we are a services organization - provide consulting to our clients and application architecture and development
  2. The ability to visualize the implications of data is as old as humanity itself.
  3. -1854, massive cholera outbreak in Soho, London – in 3 days over 120 people died from the disease. -Snow was skeptical of popular theory that cholera was caused by pollution -Plotted the locations of the deaths on a map
  4. -Discovered they clustered around a pump in Broad Street. -Snow's efforts to connect the incidence of cholera with potential geographic sources is one of the first examples of using geographical analysis and informatics to solve real-world, complex problems.
  5. At the time Landsat data was started it was hard to tell its full value
  6. First time GIS is used
  7. Billions of points on the map, but how do you make sense of it? Taking your env. data, doing well thought out analysis, and ending up with narratives
  8. Billions of points on the map, but how do you make sense of it? Taking your env. data, doing well thought out analysis, and ending up with narratives
  9. Billions of points on the map, but how do you make sense of it? Taking your env. data, doing well thought out analysis, and ending up with narratives
  10. -Instead of data locked up in a PDF, it becomes accessible to anyone on the web -DevAlert! -GFW Fires story map
  11. Country dashboard view provides stats on: -biodiversity -land type -socioeconomics
  12. -Sliders to enable users to adjust the data they’re visualizing
