an information visualization application, the Global Terrorism Database Visualization (GTDV) addressing the issue of terrorism. GTDV applies techniques and processes of information visualisation emphasising the aesthetics besides the functionality, to display data from terrorist events between 1970 and 2004 compiled from the Global Terrorism Database from the University of Maryland, USA. We describe the Global Terrorism Database Visualization interface, crítically analyzing it and specifying the structural and visualization techniques used. GTDV aims to contribute to the emergence of a thorough knowledge about the phenomenon of terrorism.
