Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Wayfinding in the Data Jungle

hero
Trail blazers in the USA

The amount of data we deal with on a regular basis forms a landscape so dense that it is hard to make out what is important. Like in a jungle it is hard to see where one plant begins and another one ends or where the sky and the ground are. Masses of data are like large patches of vegetation, everything looks the same, green, dense and difficult to navigate.

In this assignment you are asked to develop strategies for finding your way around a data jungle.

Which are the important hubs where information accumulates? Which are the outliers? What information is significant? What information is noise?

Where are the paths that connect all these things and how can we make them visible to the explorer of the Data Jungle?
