Concept

I want to show for all the categories how the objects are distributed over the continents within a certain category. To do this I want to create an overview that shows all the main categories in a radar chart. In this chart I want to make five circular grid types displaying the amount of objects in percentage within a category. The continents will be displayed as different chart layers where each continent has a different color. The chart will make use of interactive styles such as filtering on the different categories or continents, but also annotating will be used in this chart to provide more information about the exact value of the percentage and the difference between the continents.

This visualization will help the user to get a better understanding on how much items there are in the collection of the museums. The items that are exhibited in the museums is nothing if you compare it with the whole collection. This visualization will also help Rick get a better overview for the exhibition of the collection.

Continents I am going to work with:

• Africa "Afrika"
• Asia "Azië"
• Oceania "Oceanie"
• America "Amerika"
• Eurasia "Eurazië"

The categories are shown on This page.

Concept drawing

In this sketch I made the basic look of the radar chart. All the colors can be changed in the progress of this project. I will probably look into the colors of the museum and use a variation of that. But for the look and feel this sketch shows what I want to achieve. All the categories are placed around the circle and as an extra feature (When I have some time left) the user will be able to click on the categories and see a little bar chart where they can see the percentage that every continent has.

At the bottom of the screen the user will be able to click on a continent to filter the exact continent and get a better view on what the exact percentage is. The user will also be able to filter on two continents so there will be a possibility to compare data with each other. Another optional extra feature will be that the chart can also show sub-continents to make it more diverse, but I will only do this if I have time left.
