Data visualisation DIY: our top tools | News | guardian.co.uk - 1 views

  • Google fusion tablesThis online database and mapping tool has become our default for producing quick and detailed maps, especially those where you need to zoom in. You get all the high resolution of google maps but it can open a lot of data - 100mb of CSV, for instance. The first time you try it, Fusion tables may seem a little tricky - but stick with it.
  • Tableau PublicIf you don't need the unlimited space of the professional edition, this is free - and means you can make pretty complex visualisations simply and easily with up to 100,000 rows. We use it when we need to bring different types of charts together - as in this map of top tax rates around the world, which also has a bar chart too.
  • After something simple - like a bar or line chart, or a pie chart? You'll find that Google spreadsheets (which you create from the documents bit of your Google account) can create some pretty nice charts - including the animated bubbles used by Hans Rosling's Gapminder. Unlike the charts API you don't need to worry about code -

  • Having said that, there is a simplicity and beauty to its bubble charts that no-one else has matched - and the word link graphic which we used below is a very useful way of showing how language links together. It's also linked to the Wordle site - which although now deeply unfashionable with designer types - is still a lovely way to show word frequency (if not much else).
  • Not, strictly speaking, a visualisation tool, Color Brewer - originally designed with federal funding and developed at Penn State - is really for choosing map colors, and is worth spending some time with if plan to make many more.
  • it's also worth checking out this DailyTekk piece which has even more options. The ones above aren't the only tools, just those we use most frequently. There are lots of others out there too, including: • Chartsbin A tool for creating clickable world maps• iCharts Specialises in small chart widgets• Geocommons Shares data and boundary data to create global and local mapsOh and there's also piktochart.com, which provides templates for those text/numbers viz there are a lot of around at the moment.

    What data visualisation tools are out there on the web that are easy to use - and free? Here on the Datablog and Datastore we try to do as much as possible using the internet's powerful free options.

  •

The Data Dealer´s growing empire has to be defended from various threats, such as competing players trying to hack into the database, complaining citizens, critical media and privacy activists. The project deals with questions as: Which personal data is available? Who collects this data? What are their intents? What could it be used for?

Giving A Kick-Ass Presentation In The Age Of Social Media | Fast Company - 2 views

  •  
    All of the people we spoke to for this piece are very effective speakers, and though each has their own distinctive style, there are a few other commonalities I'd like to point out. First, none of them depend on word-laden PowerPoint presentations. Second, most are good storytellers and use humor, often self-deprecating, to connect with their audiences. Finally, each of them manages to keep their presentations short enough to allow time for a healthy Q&A.

La rivoluzione che serve all'Italia si chiama open gov [Buongiorno wikitalia!] | Riccar... - 3 views

  • Il governo-wiki, ovvero l’amministrazione che prende a modello ed utilizza gli strumenti collaborativi usati per esempio ogni giorno da migliaia di estensori anonimi e volontari di Wikipedia, è ormai oggetto di discussioni tutt’altro che accademiche; e la Wikicrazia (termine lanciato un paio di anni fa da un dirigente dell’Unione Europea ad un barcamp di hacker in Danimarca e poi adottato da Alberto Cottica per intitolare un libro fondamentale sul tema), è molto più dell’ultima nuova idea: per molti è l’unica via per ridare slancio all’azione di governo al tempo di Internet.
  • La stessa che consentì ad un gruppo di hacker di mettere su in poche ore e gratuitamente Katrinalist, un sito che aggiornava in tempo reale la lista dei sopravvisuti all’uragano di New Orleans, mentre il governo Bush annaspava.
  • grazie alla progressiva diffusione della banda larga e all’inevitabile arrivo al potere di una generazione di nativi digitali, è convinzione comune che entro il 2020 “le forme di cooperazione online accresceranno la disponibilità di governi, aziende, istituzioni ed organizzazioni no-profit a recepire e soddisfare più apertamente le necessità della popolazione” (conclusione del report 2010 della Elon University e del Pew Research Center).

  • Al giorno d’oggi, per la pubblica amministrazione limitarsi ad avere dei siti dove i cittadini possono ottenere informazioni e richiedere certificati senza fare la fila vuol dire offrire sì un servizio utile (che pure in Italia stenta a decollare), ma in definitiva significa usare solo una parte infinitesima della potenza della rete non risolvendo il problema della modesta qualità media delle decisioni politiche.
  • ci sono due condizioni da soddisfare, e un requisito. La prima condizione è adottare la trasparenza radicale. I palazzi della politica, che siano parlamenti, consigli regionali o municipali, devono diventare palazzi di vetro dove ciascun cittadino possa guardare dentro e concludere che non ci sono trucchi o inganni. Poter sapere in tempo reale o quasi cosa fanno i nostri rappresentanti nelle assemblee elettive e negli organi esecutivi, se sono presenti, per cosa hanno votato, quali interventi hanno fatto, non è uno strumento informativo per le lobbies o un’arma nelle mani di chi odia la casta. E’ il presupposto indispensabile
  • La seconda condizione è liberare i dati. L’Open Data, ovvero la disponibilità dei dati pubblici in formati adeguati alla consultazione e alla elaborazione, è un passaggio essenziale per favorire la partecipazione creativa. Un lavoro creativo sui dati serve non solo a svelare fenomeni complessi contribuendo a darne una lettura diversa, ma è lo strumento per creare applicazioni che offrano servizi utili al cittadino
  • “è un riconoscimento del fatto che la creatività e l’ingegnosità del nostro popolo sono molto superiori a quella di chiunque lavori a Washington”.
  • commento in tempo reale ad una delibera in discussione, la segnalazione di un disservizio (è il caso di fixmystreet o seeclicfix), e persino la partecipazione ad un gruppo di discussione per elaborare una soluzione complessa o un progetto. Ma perché ciò avvenga c’è un requisito essenziale: la tecnologia deve essere facile.
  • Si tratta di convogliare quella voglia di partecipare, dalla campagna elettorale alla amministrazione quotidiana della città. La tecnologia in gran parte già esiste e costa poco. Gli sviluppatori di software in Italia sono tanti e bravi.

    il sito 'wikitalia' in realtà si rivolge principalmente ai Comuni, ma secondo me ci potrebbero essere molte informazioni utili nascoste anche nei dati del Servizio Sanitario...Let's set our data free!

Using Diigo for Collaborative Curation | Fusion Finds - 0 views

  • For example, I had a teacher ask about free screen capture tools. I sent her a link to all the items I had tagged with screencapture in my Diigo account. For the groups to which I’ve joined (ie Diigo in Education), I can see resources tagged by others and shared with the group, as well as share what I’ve tagged. I also follow a few users with similar interests and can see their public resources

The political party that wants to ban PowerPoint | Technology | The Guardian - 1 views

  • Call me old-fashioned, but I believe in having a real discussion about ideas as opposed to force-feeding an increasingly sleepy crowd with numerous graphs and bullet points projected on to the nearest wall.
  • Sometimes I wonder why we even bother showing up to hear a colleague elucidate on their thesis, when we are helpfully posted an advance printout of the presentation. As the speaker is building to a crucial statistic, delegates have long finished and are doing the crossword instead.

The worst place in the world to get pregnant - Prospect Magazine « Prospect M... - 0 views

  • In Kenya, if you charged women just 50p for an insecticide-treated bednet (one of the most effective low-cost prophylactics against malaria) demand dropped 75 per cent. Uptake of deworming drugs—an important factor in child development—dropped 80 per cent if a small charge was applied. And in October 2005, the Bamako initiative received a fatal blow from a paper in the British Medical Journal. The study took epidemiological data from 20 African countries and projected what would happen if user fees were removed. The conclusion was that, each year, the lives of 233,000 children under five would be saved.
