Abstract

This article proposes the use of visual exploratory analysis as an essential tool in analysing open data, qualifying it as an efficient way to overcome the epistemological obstacle of informational silence. It presents two briefcases of open data exploratory visual analysis experiments that reinforce the use of this technique as a guide for insights. It shows the methodology consisting of data pre-processing, calculation of social network analysis metrics, and visual exploratory analysis. It concludes that visual exploratory analysis is an essential guide to conjectures that will target later confirmatory quantitative methods.
