Abstract
Almost a "book within the book", this chapter collates eight expert reflections on Knowledge Visualization; what it is and what it could or should be. An average of 825 words long, topics span from representation, storytelling, and criticizing the lack of theory, to communication, analytics for the masses and reasoning, to trendy Visual Thinking and creativity beyond PowerPoint. These individual views provide a picture of the present and the future of a discipline that comes at precisely the right time. Despite the diverse character of its parts, written by academics and practitioners alike, this unique compilation constitutes a whole, a facetted answer to the question in its title, thus aiming to convey a common understanding of visualizing the true resource of our time, knowledge.
