3.1 A beautiful graph of important data tells a story, answers questions, informs our views, and transfers knowledge. Data downloaded or emailed in a grid, file, or document is isolated. It doesn't tell a story, and requires technical skills and an investment of time to understand the data. Then you have to find a platform if you take the time to download, import, and graph data you find online.
Using Plotly, you can graph and share data. Let's suppose that a journalist, social scientist, or data scientist was interested in understanding
and using the 88,399 [datasets reported](catalog.data.gov//dataset) as available on data.gov.
The questions
they we might
have are: start with:
* What
types of datasets resources are available (raw, geodata, and data
tools)? tools), and which resources are high-value?
* Which government agencies contribute the most datasets, and of what type?
* Which government subagencies contribute the most data to data.gov?
