可视化领域正在走向成熟。许多问题都得到了解决，也在寻求新的方向。为了做出好的选择，需要理解可视化的目的和意义。尤其是，如果我们能评估什么是好的可视化效果，那就太好了。本文试图确定可视化的价值。采用了一种技术观点，其中可视化的价值是基于有效性和效率来衡量的。提出了可视化的经济模型，并建立了效益和成本。接下来，讨论结果(可视化的品牌限制(包括替代方法的使用、较高的初始成本、主观/较少，以及交互的作用)，以及使用该模型来判断现有方法类别并理解它们在实践中使用或不使用的原因的例子。此外，还提出并讨论了可视化的两种不同观点：将可视化视为一门艺术或作为一门科学学科。指出了研究的意义和未来的发展方向。
The field of visualization is getting mature. Many problems have been solved, and new directions are sought for. In order to make good choices, an understanding of the purpose and meaning of visualization is needed. Especially, it would be nice if we could assess what a good visualization is. In this paper an attempt is made to determine the value of visualization. A technological viewpoint is adopted, where the value of visualization is measured based on effectiveness and efficiency. An economic model of visualization is presented, and benefits and costs are established. Next, consequences (brand limitations of visualization are discussed (including the use of alternative methods, high initial costs, subjective/less, and the role of interaction), as well as examples of the use of the model for the judgement of existing classes of methods and understanding why they are or are not used in practice. Furthermore, two alternative views on visualization are presented and discussed: viewing visualization as an art or as a scientific discipline. Implications and future directions are identified.
