Depicting the data city

Abstract

In this chapter, we review the fast-expanding and multi-faceted classes of geo-referenced data visualization. By analyzing and interpreting existing projects based on static, motion graphics, and interactive visualizations of geographical information, we have built a taxonomy that crosses and groups the selected cases according to several classes of variables. The chapter presents both how we selected, divided, interrelated, and organized the collected material and our interpretation of the taxonomy. The chapter ends with a presentation of the potentialities of the taxonomy.
