Chapter 5: Building a Narrative in Comet

Data narrative, also known as data storytelling, is the art of telling stories starting from data. It is not simply a matter of summarizing the data but of building compelling stories, which can attract not only the attention of the audience they are aimed at but also arouse emotions that push the audience to action.

Data narrative is one of the final processes of the data science project life cycle and can be implemented either in parallel with the model deployment phase or immediately after.

In this chapter, you will review the basic concepts and techniques to build a narrative from data, including an overview of the Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom (DIKW) pyramid, and learn how to turn your data into a story. Then, you will learn how to build a narrative in Comet, using the concepts you are already familiar with, such as panels and reports. You will also implement two practical examples.
