Defining: in·fo·gra·phic
“Information graphics are visual representations of information, data or knowledge often used to support information, strengthen it and present it within a sensitive context.They are specific, context-sensitive and often times hand-crafted.”

• Can be static, animated or interactive.
Defining: da·ta vi·su·al·i·za·tion
“Data visualizations are visual displays of measured quantities by means of the combined use of a coordination system, points, lines, shapes, digits, letters quantified by visual attributes.They are general, context-free and often times created automatically.”

• Can be static, animated or interactive.
Defining: in·ter·ac·tiv·ity
“Providing output based on input from the user. This output feeds back into the user's decision process for subsequent interaction.
Implying that the user of the software can exert some control over the software, and not just be a passive page-turner recipient.”
