Developed in 1869 by Mendeleev, the periodic table is considered to be one of the earliest efforts in data visualization. It helped transform early research works of scientists and alchemists into a visualized form of elements in the increasing order of their atomic numbers. Patterns arose—leading to the crucial understanding of how each column of elements showed periodically repeating family-like characteristics. Mendeleev converted raw data into visualized information, which led to knowledge that outlines our understanding of chemistry. Modern enterprises, on similar lines, are striving to explore the ‘hidden’ knowledge locked within the data. Achieving this, however, is a daunting task as challenges around data integration and interoperability are only increasing.
Siloed data located in application silos, legacy systems, paper documents, electronic documents, and the web impede an organization’s ability to aggregate, standardize, contextualize, and visualize data. Concerns around data integrity, quality, and source trustworthiness further compound the difficulties.
