Abstract
This chapter presents the basic principles for data description and visualization. After a brief introduction, we consider the description and visualization of structural properties of the business process in Sect. 4.2. The description and visualization for collections of process instances is treated in Sect. 4.3, which later outlines the essentials of interactive and dynamic graphics. Section 4.4 introduces frequently used visualization techniques together with applications to the use cases. Finally, Sect. 4.5 discusses certain aspects of infographics and reporting.
