      ab: The article discusses another article in the issue which examines visual analysis as a way to find and tell stories with data. The 2008 mortgage-backed security crisis might have been averted if mortgage data had been available for storytelling, the article states. Visual analysis has a four-part cycle, the author states, which includes focus on a data-oriented task, visualization of the data, foraging for relevant data, and performing an appropriate action. Also discussed is searching for relevant data that is then mapped to visualizations.
