Visualizing data must be based on understandable data values, understandable metadata, understandable terms, and understandable meanings, all in a given context. Without this structure, any data visualized by the excellent tools you cite would be "meaningless" or "out of context".
A terminology shared by the intended audience of the data visualization technology would be needed to make the data understandable across that audience.
