Open Visualization Working Group

The Open Visualization Working Group “OpenVis” is a forum within the OpenJS Foundation to neutrally govern comprehensive and widely adopted visualization libraries based on JavaScript and WebGL.

Members of OpenVis help other developers, data scientists, and visualization specialists improve GPU-accelerated visualization software. We do this through an open governance model that encourages participation and technical contribution, and by providing a framework for long term stewardship by a variety of stakeholders. Check out our membership page if you're interested in becoming a member.

We welcome contributors and collaborators to get involved through OpenJS at any time. Learn more on our contribution page. Contributors may also participate in the OpenJS Foundation’s technical governance body, the Cross Project Council, regardless of membership status.
