ABSTRACT

This workshop addresses a new online phenomenon: social data analysis, that is, collective analysis of data supported by social interaction. The recent democratization of data sources on the Internet--from mandated publication of government-generated data to scientific repositories of experimental data sets--has enabled a new kind of web site where users upload and collaboratively analyze the most varied sorts of data. So far, most of these sites have relied on visualization as an intrinsic part of their analytical arsenal. The goals of this workshop are to:

Bring together, for the first time, the social data analysis community
Examine the design of social data analysis sites today
Discuss the role that visualizations play in social data analysis
Explore how users are utilizing the various sites that allow them to exchange data-based insights.
