Abstract

Is it necessary to continue to define a difference between information and scientific visualization? Is the determined need for these differences creating confusion rather than helping investigators understand how to effectively apply visual display techniques to data and information? The author considers how cartographic and geographic information techniques seem to span both scientific and information visualization. She discusses the future directions in bioinformatics visualization.
