TLDR
The Grammar of Graphics (GOG) as mentioned in this paper denotes a system with seven orthogonal components, i.e., there are seven graphical component sets whose elements are aspects of the general system and every combination of aspects in the product of all these sets is meaningful.Abstract:
The Grammar of Graphics, or GOG, denotes a system with seven orthogonal components. By orthogonal, we mean there are seven graphical component sets whose elements are aspects of the general system and that every combination of aspects in the product of all these sets is meaningful. This sense of the word orthogonality, a term used by computer designers to describe a combinatoric system of components or building blocks, is in some sense similar to the orthogonal factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA), where factors have levels and all possible combinations of levels exist in the ANOVA design. If we interpret each combination of features in a GOG system as a point in a network, then the world described by GOG is represented in a seven-dimensional rectangular lattice.read more

Visualizing summary statistics and uncertainty
TL;DR: This work takes inspiration from graphical data analysis to create visual representations that show not only the data value, but also important characteristics of the data including uncertainty, as well as an extension of the summary plot to two dimensional distributions.
