De WikiCampus
This wiki corner lists all my bookmarks, thoughts and resources related to information visualization. This is where I'll publish my dissertation resources and set up my collaboration with the IT University of Copenhagen as an exchange MSc student from Universidade de Aveiro, supervised by Prof. John Paulin (project Spopos). The information below is open to collaboration and I'd be glad if you could contribute with some more resources and bookmarks.

Quotes
- "Content is king" - Jakob Nielsen
- "Let the dataset change your mindset" - Hans Rosling
- "Data is the new soil" - David McCandless
- "Visualizing information is a form of knowledge compression, it's a way of squeezing an enormous amount of information and understanding into a small space" - David McCandless
- "The world is generally multivariate" - Edward Tufte
- "Small differences allow more differences" (about the Smallest effective difference theory) - Edward Tufte
- "When everything is emphasized, nothing is emphasized'" (about the Minimal contrast theory) - Edward Tufte
- "Information visualization is [...] is emerging as a medim in its own right, with a wide range of expressive potential" - Eric Rodenbeck
- "Visualization is ready to be a mass medium" - Fernanda B. Viégas and Martin Wattenberg
- "The goal of information visualization is to discover the structure of a (typically large) data set. [...] A visualization is successful if it reveals this structure" - Lev Manovich
- "Information design works with information, while information visualization works with data" - Lev Manovich
- "Infovis uses arbitrary spatial arrangements of elements to represent the relationships between data objects. Scientific, medical and geovisualization typically work with a priori fixed spatial layout of the real physical objects such as a brain, a coastline, a galaxy, etc" - Lev Manovich
- "Data reduction and privileging of spatial variables [...] are sufficient to separate infovis [...] from other techniques [...] for visual representation" - Lev Manovich
- "[Information Visualization is] a remapping from other codes to a visual code" - Lev Manovich
- "Pictures based on exploration of data should force their messages upon us" - John Tukey
- "A proper visualization is a kind of narrative, providing a clear answer to a question without extraneous details" - Ben Fry
- "All data problems begin with a question and end with a narrative construct that pro- vides a clear answer" - Ben Fry
