\"Weave<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Weave is a new web based tool for use by novices and experts alike, to develop analysis and to visualise the results in a clear and informative way.<\/p>\n

Weave <\/a> has been developed at the Institute for Visualization and Perception Research of the University of Massachusetts Lowell <\/a> in partnership with the Open Indicators Consortium<\/a>, a fifteen member national collaborative of public and nonprofit organizations working to improve access to more and higher quality data.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As part of our ongoing list of resources to help develop understanding of and access to the tools for better data analysis, Weave is a perfect candidate.<\/p>\n

Free and Open Source, with levels of interaction that can suit those simply exploring the techniques of data analysis and visualisation – Weave should be a go to tool for young people in the UK, wishing to explore or develop their skills in data analysis.<\/p>\n

With the impending curriculum changes in the UK, and the governments revitalised commitment to Open Source software, Weave should be part of the new ICT landscape for young people, we would argue.<\/p>\n

You can see a great example of the software in use delivering an analysis of the recent UK election here. ( A great U.S. view of our electoral system…).<\/p>\n
