	abstract = {Sinclair, Ruecker, and Radzikowska argue that visualization systems must be evaluated based upon their ability to facilitate interpretative activity: visualizations that offer only a single vintage point into the text are of "limited usefulness" whereas visualizations that open up new interpretative avenues or ways of conceptualizing materials are infinitely more valuable. Static graphics tend to fall into the first category because, while they do represent material in a graphic manner, they lack interactivity and are therefore mainly a tool of display. On the other hand, graphics that allow interaction open up opportunities for users to information. Sinclair, Ruecker, and Radzikowska present quick snap shots of some popular visualization tools to identify the strengths and weaknesses of transforming data in this manner. Sinclair, Ruecker, and Radzikowska argue that visualizations can be used as a tool to provide insights across large collections of information. Specifically, they focus on tools such as Mandala - a grouping tool - and MONK - a clustering tool - by detailing both the abilities and shortcomings of such programs. },
