The #occupydata visualization hackathon 2 is well into the second day. The group in DC created a spreadsheet for possible projects, with links to various datasets; there is also the initial list of datasets from http://bit.ly/occupyhackathon. I just finished working with someone who’s going by occupydata388 in the IRC to get this initial list into the DC spreadsheet, then put the metadata into the column format they’re using.
Many Eyes provides an option for visualizing data via a mind-map, like the one above. Following the same procedure we described in a previous post, we’re uploading the text of the responses to the survey question: “What is your top reason for participating in the Occupy Movement”? At the visualization step, this time we’re choosing the “Phrase Net” option.
Once you’ve created an account on Many Eyes, you can play around with visualizing the same data set by searching for the data set labeled “Occupy–ORGS– #1 Reason for participation”.
