How important is Data Visualization to making sense of Big Data?NASA Visualization of the World’s Oceans is one example where Data Visualization is key – See Link.
==There is no link.
==No Link showing but Visualization is very important and key to understanding the data scientist and his/her teams analytics
==I guess Dennis is referring to the Perpetual Ocean visualization ( http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a003800/a003827/index.html ) made by NASA with ECCO2 data ( http://ecco2.jpl.nasa.gov/products/ ). IMHO, data visualization can be a must depending on the type of data you are considering and the kind of hypothesis you are making. On certain social activity streams you could get to the objective with just summarized data in tabular format or you could need a (possibly interactive) graphical tree representation (chooses one from http://treevis.net/ ). Sometimes, a bit of “creativity” in presenting processed data can be of great help…
