The Cairn Terrier breed standard envisioned as a text cloud.
A visualization technique often seen on the Web is the tag cloud where the frequency that a tag or keyword is used is represented by the size of the word in the visualization. The logic as applied to texts is that important or relevant words are probably used more frequently than less important words, with allowances for the logistics of grammar and general usage. For example, a speech might be visualized to see what themes are frequently referenced. The preceding image is a tag cloud style visualization applied to the fifty most-used words in the Cairn Terrier breed standard (USA).
