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, etc.

While information visualization concentrates on the use of computer-supported tools to explore large amount of abstract data, knowledge visualization focuses on the transfer or creation of knowledge among people. Beyond the mere transfer of facts, knowledge visualization aims to further create or transfer insights, experiences, attitudes, values, expectations, perspectives, opinions, and predictions by using various complementary visualizations.
