Overview

The DLBT has several applications of its own that you can use to visualise your metadata. These can be used via the Analysis tool and comprise the following five groups:

• basic charts: used for the quantitative representation of data and allow you to represent individual values, compare different values with each other, and highlight differences. They include classic types such as area charts, bar charts, doughnut charts, funnel charts, line charts, line bar charts and pie charts. Choose the appropriate chart type in the bottom right corner.
• timelines: these enable the chronological arrangement and thus structuring of elements. Timelines are used in particular when there are individual events that are clearly separated from one another.
• flow diagrams: these help to clearly present complex processes and procedures involving multiple factors and enable changes in these processes to be highlighted.
• geographic visuals: these are used to present spatial and geographic data as well as relationships. You can create a 3D globe, a worldmap with marked cities or a worldmap with marked countries. They normally require exact geodata.
• networks: these allow relationships and connections between people, objects or abstract entities to be presented. They are especially useful, when showing relative and not absolute positions in these networks.
