#Description

Explore Data involves consuming data (reading, listening, watching) or visualizations of data. This activity may involve the examination of a visualization, or the comparing of multiple views of a dataset. Explore may be dynamic, but is a passive state (vs. Enrich). This is the triage step of taking a first look at the data. This is typically a big picture view.
