I like Visual:, any +1s? +2s?
I give it a +0.5 :) I also like "Render" but its meaning has become too attached to 3d graphics... Anyhow if we have a "Visual" and a "VisualData" namespace, they could be associated to each other: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Associated_namespaces

It might be good to design it with Commons in mind from the start, so that a Visual:/View: can be loaded from a foreign repository as well as the local one. A qLabel style translation approach (using Wikidata) might be helpful to consider as well.
Commons looks for sure like a good place to store the datasets needed for visualizations. I left a message on the their Village Pump to see if there is any concern. I like qLabel approach, and I would go even a step forward to suggest linking the CSV headers to Wikidata properties. That way we could also verify later on the data formatting, or importing it more easily into Wikidata if needed.
Overall this is very exciting work with lots of potential future
applications. I don't think it's resourced for success yet, but let's figure out where it should sit in our roadmap since it would address many shared needs if done right.
True! It would be nice to talk about it during Wikimania, from my side I started a community consultation here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/How_to_deal_with_open_d...
