Data visualization is the graphical representation of information and data. It is used to communicate data or information clearly and effectively to readers by leveraging the human mind's receptiveness to visual information. Effective data visualization can improve transparency and communication, answer questions, discover trends, find patterns, see data in context, support calculations, and present or tell a story. Common tools for data visualization include charts, graphs, maps, and diagrams. Specialized roles involved in data visualization include data visualization experts, data analysts, business intelligence consultants, tool-specific consultants, business analysts, and data scientists.
