Abstract: This paper presents a result of cases of Innovators Marketplace on Data Jackets (IMDJ), a market-like creativity support system for providers, users, and analysts of data. In the cases dealt here, a method for visualization was created as a result of IMDJ, responding to the presented requirements for data analysis. This created method called Tangled String (TS) visualizes given data including a sequence of items. TS separates the sequence into tangled ``pills'' that are sub-sequences corresponding to parts where the topic is uncertain or various topics are involved, and ``wires'' corresponding to transitions from/to pills. Based on this separation, the importance of items are computed based on their positions in the overall string. This design of visualization of a sequence fits the requirement presented in IMDJ. Furthermore, the performance of TS is shown by experimental cases, one for the text of discourse log and the other for the sensor-based log of human's movement in office. These cases show TS meets requirements in IMDJ, that reflects the social demands for reusing data via analysis.
