This concept is not only about presenting data in an accessible format, but also about revolutionizing the way data interacts across different platforms, ensuring data privacy and improving user control. With the Prometheus-X initiative at the forefront, a ground-breaking approach to handling education and career development data will redefine industry standards.

Distributed data visualization is a sophisticated framework designed to seamlessly manage and display data across multiple platforms. It enables AI providers to process data sets from different data providers and gain valuable insights such as recommendations, analysis and predictions. What makes this approach special is the ability to easily integrate these results into different applications and user interfaces (UI), making it a versatile tool for educational and professional development.

Seamless Integration and Enhanced Privacy

The hallmark of distributed data visualization lies in its unique distributed approach, which allows results to be broadcast and displayed to any participant in the data room, unlike traditional systems that limit output feedback to the original input provider. This means that, for example, an individual’s skills data can be processed by multiple AI systems to determine appropriate job recommendations, with the results easily integrated into a service’s user interface without the need for multiple direct connections. This not only simplifies the process, but also ensures the highest level of privacy and protection of personal data through edge analysis and tokenization.

Building on Industry Best Practices

This innovative approach does not reinvent the wheel but builds on widely accepted standards and open source frameworks to ensure compatibility, ease of use and broad adoption. By using standard data formats such as JSON-LD and xAPI as well as visualization models such as tables and charts through frameworks such as D3.js and Chartist.js, a standardized yet flexible solution is ensured. In addition, data storage technologies such as browser cookies and industry-standard APIs are used to ensure data security and data protection.

The Personal Information Manager Prototype for Visual Learning Profile

A concrete example of the implementation of this concept is the development of a Personal Information Manager prototype for visual learning profile using the Cozy Cloud Framework. This prototype illustrates how the management of personal data can be implemented effectively and gives users full control over their data. From recording external learning achievements to enabling selective access via a proxy mechanism, the prototype demonstrates the potential for a user-centered, privacy-respecting data management solution in the education sector. It supports lifelong learning and personal development goals by integrating data from various sources, including institutional and informal learning achievements, into a coherent, easily accessible visual learning profile.

As we move into a future where digitalization and data-driven decisions are becoming increasingly important, distributed data visualization is proving to be a beacon of innovation, particularly in the education and training sector. By fostering an environment where data is not only more accessible and interpretable, but also managed with the utmost respect for privacy and user control, this approach promises to pave the way for better-informed, efficient and personalized educational and professional development pathways.
