This paper will look at the role visualization and user interface can play in making public data more accessible, and highlight some of the problems associated with data production and presentation. Drawing on two recent real-world examples based on government data, issues of design and methodology will be explored, with observations on curation and deployment along the way. One of the projects under consideration is still in production, so more details will be available on presentation.
