    Almost All Data is Absent Data
    (VISions of the Future IEEE VIS 2024 Workshop Oct 13-14th Florida, 2024-10-14) Ross, Karly; Sengupta, Pratim; Willett, Welsey
    We explain our model of data in a void and contrast it with the idea of data voids to explore how the different framings impact our thinking on sustainability. This contrast supports our assertion that how we think about the data that we work with for visualization design impacts the direction of our thinking and our work. To show this we describe how we view the concept of data in a void as different from that of data voids. Then we provide two examples, one that relates to existing data about bicycle mobility, and one about non-data for local food production. In the discussion, we then untangle and outline how our thinking about data for sustainability is impacted and influenced by the data in a void model

    I Do Not Completely Trust Your Data - Towards Visualization Lexicons for Ambiguous and Incomplete Data
    (IEEE Vis 2024 Poster Track, 2024-10-15) Ross, Karly; Willett, Wesley
    We present two challenges associated with our current work on a visual lexicon that expresses data absences and ambiguities. First, most visualization approaches fail to express the potential ambiguity and incompleteness in the data they represent. This can pose a fundamental sense-making and communication challenge in contexts (like community organizing), where official data sources and local knowledge may have little overlap or even disagree. Second, indicating expectations, ambiguity, or contradiction between community and administrative data is likely to increase visualization complexity. This increased complexity poses challenges for accessibility and engagement. We outline our work to create a visual lexicon and address the interactions between these challenges.
