This new
edition will focus on the implications of using data structure
visualization to aid in public processes of decision-making. Selected
projects and papers will tackle the topic of Open Data and
Visualization for Government Transparency and Civic Engagement.
Visualizar'09
includes an international seminar and an advanced project
development workshop. Both activities will tackle the topic of
transparency of data to make public discussion and debate possible,
regarding the political, social, and scientific processes.
Consequently, one of the objectives of Visualizar'09 will be the
development of new strategies for communicating these data and
returning them to the public domain.
All those
interested in collaborating in one of the selected projects can sign in
from October 16 to November 11.
