Describe the Dataset
Note before you start: for assignment 2 you will need to show the steps you took to analyse the dataset. So make sure you record your steps carefully when you answer the following questions (especially #7).
- What is the subject matter of the dataset (what is it about?)
- What is the origin of the dataset -- how do you think it was generated or compiled?
- Is any cleanup needed before it is usable in a visualisation? How would you perform the cleanup?
- Does the data need to be pre-processed (e.g. summarised, ...) before it can be used in the visualisation that you have in mind? How would you perform that pre-processing?
- How do you expect (at this early stage) that your visualisation application will loadthe dataset? E.g. database, from file, hard-coded in your javascript program, ... Why?
- Can the dataset change, or is it possible that additional data is captured that can be used seamlessly in your visualisation?
- With reference to the Week 2 lecture slideson diverse taxonomies for data, characterise the dataset in the context of these considerations:
- Degree of structuring
- Data source / format
- [DataVis] Data Types
- Type of Dataset
- Attribute Types

Story, Goals, and Style
Note: as this first assignment is a proposal it is okay if some of these answers change later in the semester --- if so, you will need to document the change and the reason.
- What story will the visualisaion tell?
- Who is the target audience?
- What questions will the visualisation help your audience (not yourself!) to answer?
- What questions will it help the audience to raise? (These don'tneed to be answered by your visualisation in itself; perhaps another visualisation would answer them. But your own visualisation triggers your audience to think of other questions they might want to look into.)
- Are there any dangers of your solution possibly misleading the audience, dependent on the method of visualisation? If so, what will you do to avoid ethical problems?
- Which of the following two styles do you currentlyplan for your solution:
- a visualisation that contains only oneview/representation, but this representation is relatively novel and creative (not your standard bar charts etc);
- one that employs multiplecoordinated (or linked) views where each one is a standard method (e.g. a bar chart) but they work together to tell the story.
Project Schedule
- Include a table that outlines the various steps and timelines as you currentlyexpect them to occur.
