This new edition will focus on the implications of using data structure
visualization to aid in public processes of decision-making. Selected
projects and papers will tackle the topic of Open Data and Visualization
for Government Transparency and Civic Engagement.
Visualizar'09 includes an* international seminar *and an *advanced
project development workshop*. Both activities will be aimed at the
discussion about transparency of data to make public discussion and
debate possible, regarding the political, social, and scientific
processes. Consequently, one of the objectives of Visualizar'09 will be
the development of new strategies for communicating these data and
returning them to the public domain.
Projects will be on showcase until January 2010 at the Medialab-Prado.
All those interested in collaborating in one of the selected projects
can sign in from* October 16 to November 11*.

Public databases of institutions or research groups interested in
sharing them and making them more available to citizens can be sent to
visualizar[arroba]medialab-prado.es or through

projects selected for this workshop.
