Abstract
The study seeks to understand which elements related to the process of appropriation of information are facilitated and supported by data visualization. Based on the understanding that appropriation of information encompasses the transmission of information and its learning by the user, the visual representation of the data, through graphic resources, assists in this process by synthesizing the information content in a clear manner, thus reducing abstractions. The study is based on a bibliographic survey of an explanatory character, trying to bring reflections on the importance of visualizing data in the process of appropriation of information.
Highlights
The production of information and knowledge has always gone hand in hand with humanity’s development
The excess of information, resulted from this growth in the sources that produce information and knowledge, requires more efficient ways of organizing and representing information. Inserted in this reality in which informational consumption is put under the contemporary perspective of speed and practicality, informational flows are optimized in their form and content for the same purpose, to meet the users’ need
In a society guided by visuality, data visualization is a powerful tool for representation of data and information, previously oriented as texts and numbers, to shapes and formats with synthetic and analytical power
Summary
The production of information and knowledge has always gone hand in hand with humanity’s development. The excess of information, resulted from this growth in the sources that produce information and knowledge, requires more efficient ways of organizing and representing information. Inserted in this reality in which informational consumption is put under the contemporary perspective of speed and practicality, informational flows are optimized in their form and content for the same purpose, to meet the users’ need. It was possible to start from a deductive process aiming to compare the principles of the appropriation of information to the forms of data visualization and techniques that corroborate the appropriation and how informational design practices can enhance the process. Bibliographic research was developed on the appropriation of information, as well as data visualization and information design, as a theoretical foundation and substance for the creation of correlations between the areas of study
