Bilingual dictionary of data visualization vocabulary, made by Adrien Taudière. 633 entries, 164 cited sources.
Method. Terms come from the back-of-book indexes of a corpus of 90 documents (Zotero tag visualization_vocabulary), then are cross-checked with online sources: Wikipedia, glossaries, handbooks, bookmarked sites. A source attests a term when it uses it. The 1 421 displayed addresses are checked by script, and 1 421 of them were judged by the author. The 150 historical references were validated by hand, their DOIs checked at Crossref.
Third-party data. Paper and citation counts: OpenAlex. Concept identifiers: Wikidata. Linked articles: Wikipedia API. Example images: Wikimedia Commons, through the term's Wikidata item. R package repositories: GitHub API.
Tools. R (dplyr, readr, stringr, rvest, xml2, openalexR), Zotero, ocrmypdf and tesseract for scans. Pages are standalone HTML files: Wikimedia Commons images are copied into the site, only their enlarged view leads to Commons.
Licence. The content and the R code of the examples are dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0: copy, modify and reuse them without permission, including commercially. Exceptions: definitions and passages quoted word for word from an author or from Wikipedia, always in quotation marks and attributed to their source, remain their author's (quotation) or under Wikipedia's licence (CC BY-SA 4.0); Wikimedia Commons images, copied into the site, and example figures taken from other publications, reproduced only under an open licence, remain under the licence shown beneath each one; the data of the ggplot2 examples keep their own licence, given beneath each figure, whose drawing and code are under CC0; typefaces keep their licence (see Credits); the IdEst logo and name remain IdEst's.
