Examples of Domains That Use Temporal Data
Easily accessible, yet information-dense, temporal visualizations are the result of accurate interpretations of data. There are different domains that use temporal and time-series data for interactive visualizations:
- Finance: Examples include the study of a country's GDP growth and the study of the revenue growth of a country. In these cases, we use a time-series dataset.
- Meteorological: Forecasting the surface temperature change of a geographical region over time, for example, CO2 emissions by countries per year, again uses time-series data.
- Traffic/mobility: Routing of vehicles/cabs for efficient operations and solving supply and demand problems pertaining to mobility could use time-series traffic data.
- Medical/healthcare: Some examples include studies of life expectancy over time, patients' temporal reports, and medical history analysis.
