Take the Data Language Survey

What is a collection of charts and numbers - a dashboard, report or summary?

If you were able to add text to a point on a chart for other people to read, how would you refer to the text?

For example, "I added a(n) _____ to that data point."

Comment?
Annotation?
Note?
Something else?

Swivel's blog, Tasty Data Goodies, has a great little Data Language Survey.

Thanks, Swivel. In this Information Age and with the future of data visualization, we need the help to communicate better.
