Abstract

In the current era of big data, huge volumes of valuable data have been generated and collected at a rapid velocity from a wide variety of rich data sources. In recent years, the willingness of many government, researchers, and organizations are led by the initiates of open data to share their data and make them publicly accessible. Healthcare, disease, and epidemiological data, such as privacy-preserving statistics on patients who suffered from epidemic diseases such as Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), are examples of open big data. Analyzing these open big data can be for social good. For instance, people get a better understanding of the disease by analyzing and mining the disease statistics, which may inspire them to take part in preventing, detecting, controlling and combating the disease. Having a pictorial representation further enhances the understanding of the data and corresponding results for analysis and mining because a picture is worth a thousand words. Hence, in this paper, we present a visual data science solution for the visualization and visual analytics of big sequential data. The visualization and visual analytics of sequences of real-life COVID-19 epidemiological data illustrate the ideas. Through our solution, we enable users to visualize the COVID-19 epidemiological data over time. It also allows people to visually analyze the data and discover relationships among popular features associated with the COVID-19 cases. The effectiveness of our visual data science solution in enhancing user experience in the visualization and visual analytics of big sequential data are demonstrated by evaluation of these real-life sequential COVID-19 epidemiological data.
