Vizitated

Vizitated is a neologism used to describe the process or result of turning information into visual form to aid understanding. In practice, to vizitate data means to create visual representations such as charts, diagrams, maps, or interactive graphics that convey meaning more efficiently than text alone. As an adjective, vizitated describes data, dashboards, or explanations that have been transformed into visuals, for example: vizitated dashboards or vizitated summaries. As a verb, to vizitate denotes the act of producing such visuals.

The term appears in informal discourse among data professionals and information designers and is not widely standardized. It is typically treated as a playful or mnemonic alternative to “visualize” or “visualized,” loosely implying a state shaped by visualization rather than simply the act of visualization. Consequently, its precise meaning can vary by speaker and context.

Common usage refers to vizitation as a workflow stage: data collection and cleaning precede vizitation, after which visual representations are iterated based on audience feedback. In education and journalism, vizitated materials aim to improve accessibility and retention by leveraging visual cognition.

Related terms include visualization, data visualization, information design, and infographics. Critics note that vizitated is informal and may be unclear to readers unfamiliar with the term, so in formal writing many prefer standard terms like “visualized data” or “visualization.”
