A Demonstration: UNESCO: What is it? What does it do?


UNESCO: What is it? What does it do?
is a very helpful booklet published by UNESCO.

Click on the above image and you will see a word cloud from Many Eyes (A great set of tools for visualizing data). The size of each word is proportional to the number of times that word is used in UNESCO's booklet. The word cloud seems accurately reflects the nature of UNESCO's work. Play with it, and you may learn something about the organization! Use Many Eyes, and you may present information better in the future!

Read "Sharing Data Visualization IBM's site lets people collaborate to creatively visualize and discuss data on fast food, Jesus' apostles, greenhouse-gas trends, and more." by Kate Greene, MIT Technology Review, April 11, 2007.
