Abstract
World Development Indicators (WDI) database is an extensive and holistic database compiled by the World Bank on indicators about development in countries around the globe. It covers 20 topics with more than 1,300 time series development indicators featuring 214 nations and 38 country group which adds up to more than 7 millions data points collected over the span of 56 years.
The massive amount of world development data has by far exceeds the ability for students, policymakers, analysts and officials to transform the data into proper visualization to perform analysis and gain insight out of the data available. Thus, creating an adverse impact on the financial and technical assistance World Bank is providing to the developing countries around the world.
To address this pressing issue, the team is motivated to design and develop a single view dynamic and interactive dashboard to provide students, policymakers, analysts and officials an holistic view to perform analysis and gain insight out of the World Development Indicators data collected.
The team will be using R as the code base to develop a single view visual dashboard for the World Development Indicators data. The focus will be on using Circlize that provides an implementation of circular layout generation in R and the flexibility on the use of low-level and high-level graphics functions as defined by users for specific purposes. Moreover, with the seamless connection between the powerful computational and visual environment in R, it give the team more convenience and freedom to design figures for better understanding of complex patterns behind multiple dimensional data.
