Abstract:
|
This paper reports on research conducted at the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) to optimize ways to disseminate data via the World Wide Web so that data customers can freely and effectively view and analyze NASS data using any web browser software. Specifically, we demonstrate web-based solutions that enable viewing, analyzing, and dynamically interacting with data at the national, state and county level.
We focus on ways to visualize historical data through the use of map animations, interactive charts, and "sparklines", characterized by their small size and high data density.
The paper presents important concepts and technologies that we implement on the NASS web site to enhance the ability to find data of interest, and see structure and pattern inherent in the data.
While this demonstration focuses on Agricultural Data, the principles and methods can be applied to other sources of survey and census data.
