- Perceptual Edge - White papers, podcasts, blog and commercial information on Information Visualization by Stephen Few. This site is commercial, but it includes lots of useful information and focuses on the business value of Information Visualization.
- information aesthetics - This weblog explores the symbiotic relationship between creative design and the field of information visualization, in an emergent multidisciplinary field what could be coined as 'creative information visualization'.
- University of California Santa Cruz Laboratory for Visualization and Graphics - Presents the activities of the team, which includes both Information Visualization and Scientific Visualization. The projects on Uncertainty Visualization and Flow Visualization are particularly interesting.
- Information Visualization Tools - SearchTools Topic - An annotated collection of papers and available tools on Information Visualization.
- Information Visualization at the University of Maryland - Research laboratory led by Ben Shneiderman, which has hosted many leading works on information visualization, such as treemaps and starfield displays.
- VisIt Visualization Tool - Developed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, VisIt contains a rich set of visualization methods such as contour plots, pesudocolor plots, volume plots, vector plots, and boundary plots for visualizing scientific data. VisIt allows the ability to provide quantitative as well as qualitative information from a scientific data set.
- Fresh Vista - Visualization software and consulting services. Provides an information visualization "power strip" that connects data sources from any data vendor to data visualizations from any number of visualization vendors.
- Information Visualization at PNNL - Details about technologies in information visualization at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Includes graphics and published papers.
- InfoVis:Wiki - The Information Visualization community platform. The InfoVis:Wiki project is intended to provide a community platform and forum integrating recent developments and news on all areas and aspects of Information Visualization.
- OLIVE: On-line Library of Information Visualization Environments - Taxonomy of Information visualization tools. Includes Temporal, 1-D, 2-D, 3-D, Multi-D, Tree, Network, and Workspace environments. Many links to ongoing projects and papers.

- Enterprise Information Access - Enterprise information access refers to information systems that allow for enterprise search; content classification; content clustering; information extraction; taxonomy creation and management; information presentation (for example, visualization) to support analysis and understanding; and desktop or personal knowledge search.
- Interactive visualization - Interactive visualization is a branch of graphic visualization in computer science that studies how humans interact with computers to create graphic illustrations of information and how this process can be made more efficient. In order for visualization to be considered interactive, it must satisfy two criteria:
- Starlight Information Visualization System - Starlight is a software product developed at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. It is an advanced visual analysis environment.
- Knowledge visualization - Knowledge Visualization aims to facilitate the creation and communication of knowledge through the use of computer and non-computer-based, complementary, graphic representation techniques. Examples of such visual formats are information graphics, sketches, diagrams, images, mind maps, interactive visualizations, dynamic visuals (animations), imaginary visualizations, story boards or even physical objects for inspection.
- Scientific visualization - Scientific- (or data-), and Information visualization are branches of computer graphics and user interface design that are concerned with presenting data to users, by means of images. The goal of this area is usually to improve understanding of the data being presented.
