Met een mogelijk verhaal in het ach-
terhoofd gaat de datajournalist op
jacht.
Datasets worden op bruikbaarheid
en consistentie getest en indien
nodig opgeschoond.
De dj filtert de data, verrijkt deze
met andere sets en zoekt naar
extremen of afwijkende patronen.
De dj zoekt naar een visualisatie-
methode en (bij ‘NL van boven’) pro-
jecteert de data op kaart of luchtfoto.
Met de eindredacteur stelt hij de
scènes samen, schrijft de voice-over
en bepaalt camerabewegingen.
De enorme dataset gaat met briefing
naar het animatieteam die de miljoe-
nen puntjes kleurt en animeert.
1. speuren 2. analyseren 3. combineren 4. visualiseren 5. schrijven 6. animeren

With a possible story in mind the data
journalist starts hunting.
Checking usability and consistency.
If necessary dataset is cleaned.
The DJ filters the data, enriches it
with other sets and searches for ex-
treme or abnormal patterns.
The DJ looks for a visualization method
projects the data on a map or aerial
imagery.
With the editor the DJ composes the
storyboard, writes the voice-over and
determines camera movement.
The whole set is sent to the animati-
on team who renders the scenes.
1. research 2. analyze 3. combine 4. visualize 5. write 6. animate
