Here is a map titled What Is Data Visualization? from Sébastien Pierre, founder of ffunction. Showing the different areas of design, it also provides terms used by the design industry.
This is an article by ReadQWriteCloud - interview article with Pierre on his thoughts behind designing the infographic.
Pierre:
“Will it be interactive or static? Will it be used as a tool or to illustrate something? Depending on how we position the visualization, it will be more demanding on UI aspects or on visual aspects. Dashboards, online reports and interactive web visualizations need a solid understanding of UI design, while infographics and print reports require a strong foundation of typography, layout and visual communication.”
