The Oxford Consultants for Social Inclusion (OCSI) have been commissioned by the UK Department of Communities and Local Government to review the many approaches to visualizing data in the public realm. OCSI is a research group focusing on data and evidence to help the public sector develop better services.
Questions asked include:
- What visualisations are being used by the public sector? What can we learn from elsewhere?
- Is there a useful typology (classification) of visualisation techniques for public sector users?
- How effective are particular types of visualisation in supporting public sector research and decision-making?
- What are the most appropriate visualisation techniques for particular purposes?
Contact details for response are on the website.
