InfoVis vs. SciVis

is spatialization given (scivis) or chosen (infovis)
my definition

names are unfortunate historical accidents
not scivis iff data generated by scientists
infovis not unscientific
scivis not uninformative
but - too late to change

infovis: how to represent
choosing, doing, evaluating
huge space of possibilities: random walk ineffective
need design guidelines
