General Data Visualization

From the introduction to Ben Fry’s Visualizing Data:

Acquire Obtain the data, whether from a file on a disk or a source over a network.

Parse Provide some structure for the data’s meaning, and order it into categories.

Filter Remove all but the data of interest.

Mine Apply methods from statistics or data mining as a way to discern patterns or place the data in mathematical context.

Represent Choose a basic visual model, such as a bar graph, list, or tree.

Refine Improve the basic representation to make it clearer and more visually engaging.

Interact Add methods for manipulating the data or controlling what features are visible.
