# Definições "Visualização de dados é a representação de dados por meio do uso de gráficos comuns, como tabelas, gráficos, infográficos e até animações. Essas exibições visuais de informações comunicam relacionamentos de dados complexos e insights baseados em dados de uma forma fácil de entender." **What is data visualization?** Think IBM [Link](https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/data-visualization#:~:text=Data%20visualization%20is%20the%20representation,that%20is%20easy%20to%20understand.) --- **“Data visualization** is a collection of methods that use visual representations to explore, make sense of, and communicate quantitative data.” **Visual Business Intelligence** Stephen Few [Link](https://www.perceptualedge.com/blog/?p=2636) --- **“Data visualization** is a generic term used which describes any attempt to help understanding of data by providing visual representation. Visualization of data makes it much easier to analyse and understand the textual and numeric data. Apart from saving time, increased used of data for decision making further adds to the importance and need of data visualization.” **Understanding Data Visualization | Importance, Techniques, Tools & Software** Planning Tank [Link](https://planningtank.com/computer-applications/data-visualization-importance-techniques-tools) --- “First and foremost, **data visualization** is important for a simple psychological reason: We are wired for visuals. Half of our brain is dedicated to visual functions, and 90% of the information transmitted to the brain is visual.” **The Role of Data Visualization In Business Intelligence** Highcharts [Link](https://www.highcharts.com/blog/post/role-data-visualization-business-intelligence/) --- **“Data visualisation** can help. Our eyes deliver information very rapidly to our brains, and then sophisticated pattern recognition abilities take over. Well-designed visualisation tools can reveal discoveries that would otherwise remain buried.” **Data visualisation isn’t just for communication, it’s also a research tool** The Conversation [Link](http://theconversation.com/data-visualisation-isnt-just-for-communication-its-also-a-research-tool-78397) --- **“Data visualization**: an umbrella term, usually covering both information and scientific visualization. This is a general way of talking about anything that converts data sources into a visual representation (like charts, graphs, maps, sometimes even just tables).” **Data Visualization: About Data Visualization** Duke University Libraries [Link](https://guides.library.duke.edu/c.php?g=289678&p=1930713) --- **“Visualization** is the means by which humans understand complex analytics and is often the most crucial and overlooked step in the analytics process. As you increase the complexity of your data, the complexity of your final model increases as well, making effective communication and visualization of data even more difficult and critical to end users.” **BIG DATA FOR HUMANS: THE IMPORTANCE OF DATA VISUALIZATION** Rosemary Radich Dataconomy 2017 [Link](https://dataconomy.com/2017/05/big-data-data-visualization/) --- “Data visualization is a general term that describes any effort to help people understand the significance of data by placing it in a visual context. Patterns, trends and correlations that might go undetected in text-based data can be exposed and recognized easier with data visualization software.” **Data Visualization** TechTarget [Link](https://searchbusinessanalytics.techtarget.com/definition/data-visualization) --- # Referências Importantes **What Is Data Visualization?** Visual Business Intelligence Perceptual Edge Stephen Few 2017 [Link](https://www.perceptualedge.com/blog/?p=2636) **What is Visualization?
