Before revision:  We conduct a grounded theory analysis and develop a substantive theory that (1) interprets the extent to which latent data abstractions exist, (2) reveals the far-reaching effects that the interventionist pursuit of such abstractions can have on data workers, (3) predicts why and when data workers may resist such explorations, and (4) suggests how to take advantage of opportunities and mitigate risks through transparency about visualization research perspectives and agendas  .

We then use the themes and codes discovered in the Grounded Theory analysis to develop guidelines for data abstraction in visualization projects .
