It can be seen as a process in which data is transformed by a series of processing modules (brown boxes) that can be realized by a series of software tools (blue boxes). Specifically, the raw data is first stored in data files or databases after data pre-processing, then the analysis results are generated by data analysis methods, and finally multiple views are formed through visual mapping and presented to users. Users can interact with the data at various stages of this pipeline according to their analysis tasks to achieve a comprehensive analysis of the data.
