Visualización de indicadores de bibliotecas

RIN (Research Information Network: varias univ. británicas) ha puesto en práctica una herramienta (está en fase de pruebas) para visualizar cifras de los indicadores de sus biblioteca a lo largo de varios años. Los indicadores que se utilizan son los que propone SCONUL (Society of College National and University Libraries) (Fuente: Iwetel).

Compleja - sencilla realidad visual

A esto me quiero dedicar yo. He encontrado este vídeo en un blog, y dice su autor (Jorge Juan Fernández): "Me gusta por el carácter explicativo del mismo, y porque se trata de su tesis para un programa de postgrado en el Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, California, cuyo objetivo es "exploring the use of new media to make sense of a increasingly complex world". Es algo parecido a esto: http://www.visualcomplexity.com/vc/ ¿Qué no es precioso? Pues eso.

Data is the life blood of the communication channel we refer to as the Internet; its visualisation has become an area of, at times, radical innovation.

The online visualisation of data continues to stretch in many directions with great effectiveness. Inspired by seminal influences such as Edward Tufte (http://edwardtufte.com/tufte/) there's an ever growing stream of online and offline tools, projects, research and resources for visualising, interpreting and researching ultimately any type of data, for a vast range of uses.

There is no doubt that the advent of computer technology has made peoples' lives easier and computer applications have expanded to impact on almost every aspect of our lives. These applications require huge amounts of storage space for the information and data that they gather and use. The services of specialised computer analysts to help interpret this stored information are crucial. Enter the EU-funded VisMaster project, which aims to tackle this problem through the use of visual analytics. Financing for the project stands at EUR 535 303.
