Issues and Problems
World Development Indicators (WDI) database is an extensive and holistic compilation of data by the World Bank on global development.
It covers 20 topics with more than 1,300 time series development indicators featuring 214 nations and 38 country group consist of 7,902,367 data points.
The main challenge here is to provide a holistic visual dashboard to allow students, policymakers, analysts and officials to perform proper analyse and provide insights out of the data points available.
Motivation and Objectives
rendered on a geospatial map across a time series animation. Such visual representations mostly require the need to switch between different form of visuals (either in a single dashboard or different page) to understand the overall data presented to them, making it difficult to generate insights in a single view.
Our group is motivated to use the application developed to study the World Development Indicators across time and countries and observe correlations (if any) between the topics or indicators selected.
Therefore, the main objective of the team is to explore a new visualization method to provide a holistic view of the WDI database using a single visual graphical representation.
Review and Critics of Past Works
No Ceilings - Visual representation of woman rights
No Ceilings is home to 850,000 data points, spanning more than 20 years, from over 190 countries showing insights of woman rights through various form of data visualization. This website provides a good resource of idea the different visualization technique that could be used for time-series level indicators.
Global Gender Gap Report - A Story Visualization
Global Gender Gap Report provides a very creative and interesting way to understand the graphical data presented in a story like manner. The story is through scrolling down the web page through different topic covered. At each section interval, interactivity filters are available for users to perform other form of analysis.
Gender Pay Gap - By Job Role
Simple 1 level visualization of gender pay gap by job role. A summarized view of the gender different for each job role across the year over a time-series scatter plot representation. This is another visual form that the time-series indicators can be presented.
