DataMIX Project

Data

As part of the first workshop, a dataset taken from the Guardian DataStore was issued to participants to attempt to analyse and visualise, without initial knowledge of where it had come from.

It was hoped that by comparing techniques, approaches and methods from other disciplines, we might all learn something about common and differing approaches, potential best practices, and be inspired to try methods we'd otherwise not have heard of.

The data set in question can be found here.

A selection of posters made by the participants, showing their differing approaches to exploring the same dataset, can be found below. Click on the thumbnails to view full-size PDFs of each poster.

Paul also produced a fantastic real-world 3D model of the globe approach, showing continent population varying over time:
