    World Bank Data Visualization

    March 9, 2010 By Wilson Center Staff
    Yesterday Google and the World Bank expanded their data-sharing partnership, first initiated last fall, to include a subset of 54 World Development Indicators and enhanced visualization tools. Users can now interact with data—spanning a range of both environmental and population statistics, from forest coverage area to contraceptive prevalence—using line graphs, bar graphs, maps, and xy-plots. Each option also offers users the ability to follow the data changes over time.

    An alternative to Google’s Public Data Explorer is the World Bank’s Data Visualizer. Although limiting data output to an xy-plot, the customization options go beyond those offered by the Public Data Explorer and achieve a good balance between flexibility and ease of use. Table colors and groupings are fully customizable, scales are adjustable, and the chart can be quickly printed or exported as a jpeg.

      You might want to check out my Visualisation References resource list, aspiring to be the most comprehensive on the net. If you miss anything that I might be able to find for you or if you yourself want to share a resource, please leave a comment.

      Thanks for the link Maven. It seems like your well on your way!

      As not only a visualization enthusiast but also a hobby photographer I particularly enjoyed the link to Jake Garn's photography demonstrating Fibonacci Spirals and the Rule of Thirds.

      Dear Sir,

      I have the pleasure to brief on our Data Visualization software
      "Trend Compass".

      TC is a new concept in viewing statistics and trends in an animated
      way by displaying 5 axis (X, Y, Time, Bubble size & Bubble color)
      instead of just the traditional X and Y axis. It could be used in
      analysis, research, presentation etc. In the banking sector, we have
      Deutsche Bank New York as our client.

      This a link on weather data :

      Customers for different branches over time ( all in 1 Chart) :

      I hope you could evaluate it and give me your comments. So many ideas
      are there.

      You can download a trial version. It has a feature to export
      EXE,PPS,HTML and AVI files. The most impressive is the AVI since you
      can record Audio/Video for the charts you create.

      All the best.
