As noted by Kirk (2016), data visualization is multidisciplinary. Several professional specializations are combined to work on a project or to resolve a problem. Kirk (2016) was inspired by Edward de Bono’s Six Thinking Hats. A multi-talented visualizer may have some of the capabilities mentioned in the seven hats of data visualization (Kirk, 2016).
