信息可视化是一门以用户为中心的设计学科。然而，在本文中，我们认为，设计信息可视化技术通常需要的不仅仅是为用户需求而设计。此外，还必须仔细考虑要可视化的数据。一种基于用户和他们的数据的方法被封装成两个问题，我们认为信息可视化设计师应该不断地问自己：“用户想看到什么？”以及“数据想要成为什么样的数据”正如我们通过介绍案例所示，这两个出发点是相辅相成的。通过关注数据，可以获得对用户需求的新见解，反之亦然，从而产生更有效的可视化技术。
Information visualization is a user-centered design discipline. In this article we argue, however, that designing information visualization techniques often requires more than designing for user requirements. Additionally, the data that are to be visualized must also be carefully considered. An approach based on both the user and their data is encapsulated by two questions, which we argue information visualization designers should continually ask themselves: ‘What does the user want to see?’ and ‘What do the data want to be?’ As we show by presenting cases, these two points of departure are mutually reinforcing. By focusing on the data, new insight is gained into the requirements of the user, and vice versa, resulting in more effective visualization techniques.
