I have put together the following text as a starting point for a new Infovis page. All the usual caveats apply, but bear in mind that the infovis page was deleted and refactored into scientific visualisation. IMHO this does no justice to either field, and leaves a scivis page with a bizarre split personality.
Please do not 'dilute' the proposed page with references from related fields. I believe this is what led, indirectly, to the loss of the original page.
Suggested text, taken from a 2005 version of the wikipedia infovis page, that seems to have been good enough to be cited in the infovis wiki;
As a subject in computer science, information visualization is the use of interactive, sensory representations, typically visual, of abstract data to reinforce cognition.
Information visualization is a complex research area. It builds on theory in information design, computer graphics, human-computer interaction and cognitive science.
Practical application of information visualization in computer programs involves selecting, transforming and representing abstract data in a form that facilitates human interaction for exploration and understanding.
Important aspects of information visualization are the interactivity and dynamics of the visual representation. Strong techniques enable the user to modify the visualization in real-time, thus affording unparalleled perception of patterns and structural relations in the abstract data in question.
Although much work in information visualization regards to visual forms, auditory and other sensory representations are also of concern.
-(Information Visualisation Wikipedia, 2005)
The use of computer-supported, interactive, visual representations of abstract data to amplify cognition.
— [Card et al., 1999]
Information visualization is visualization of abstract data. This is data that has no inherent mapping to space. Examples for abstract data are the results of a survey or a database of the staff of a company containing names, addresses, salary and other attributes.
— [Voigt, 2002]
(books specifically about 'information visualisation' topics - I have excluded some on the grounds that while they are useful, relevant and even well cited within information visualisation, they are not specifically about information visualisation - tufte refers to his work as infomation graphics)

Hi, I have rewritten this article from scratch, focusing on this new field of science, which emerged as subfield of computer graphics and scientific visualisation in the 1990s. It is especially not my intention that this article is going to develop as a main article about visualization of information.
This new article is part of the development of a series of new articles, thematically:
And biographical articles, new and or improved:
And the creation of several new categories in wikicommons, see here, and particularly the categories on Scientific visualization, Data visualization, and Information visualization.
I hope to continu to improve the Wikipedia representation on visualisation, and all it's aspects, some more soon. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker ( talk) 08:38, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
I've clarified the definition, in accordance with the consensus usage I'm seeing. See the material collected under "definition" on this user page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Infografica/VisMaterial
The previous version of this article said that information visualization dealt with "non-numerical" data sets, but this isn't quite right... there certainly are numerical data sets in the core of infovis (time series, high-dimensional data). The crux of the distinction is that infovis deals with data that does not have some intrinsic 2D or 3D structure. -- Infografica ( talk) 23:48, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Due to possible violation of copyright, see WP:Copyvio, I have removed one or more section of this article for now.

Remark This text is not so much about information visualization, but about visualization in general... better fitted in the graphics article.
I happen to notice that both Jacko (2003) and Smith (2007) didn't use quotation marks to quote Card, Mackinlay, & Schneiderman, 1999.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Information visualization. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than
regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors
have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the

The present Overview section relies on a non-empirical / non-scientific source to define information visualization. I suggest replacing James J. Thomas and Kristin A. Cook (Ed.) (2005).

Further, this citation is difficult to access, available only through Wayback Machine, and not a prominent resource.
