On 7 and 8 of May I am going to attend to the Italian IA Summit in Pisa. For the conference Marta Motta and I will present a work whose title is Il Thesaurus del Nuovo soggettario interpreta SKOS. The paper, which regards a case of study about the SKOS use, is the result of a collaboration between the National Central Library of Florence and the Joint Research Centre, European Commission.

Visualization of World Oil Consumption
Posted by Dario Rodighiero under Information Visualization, Space | Tags: google earth |Leave a Comment
If you work on Google Earth, you really have the sensation to manipulate something. To have the capability to move and rotate a model of the Earth is really powerful, especially in information visualization. In fact more the user is involved in the interaction with something, more the interaction becomes transparent. And transparency of the interaction layer means direct connection to information.
Anyway Google Earth is an application which requires more study. I haven’t see very exciting examples of information visualization, but two works worth to be cited. One is an animation of international flights from the most important USA airports, the other is a really nice visualization of world oil consumption. In the picture, the red color represents on the left the USA and on the right the China oil consumption.

Since I am working on Google Earth, I am interested in good examples of geographical visualization realized through Google applications. In this list I can easy include in.fondo.al.mar, a information-visualization project aimed to reveal the positions of maritime sinkings and incidents.
I really appreciate the possibility to switch among different data views: Map, Chronology, Statistics, Archive. I think that focusing different faces of the same data is important to have a good insight of displayed information.
The project has been realized by David Boardman and Paolo Gerbaudo.
