Developer's Guide - Google Chart API - Google Code. Blog: First Whack at JavaScript Visual Wordnet. Here's my first whack at a Visual Wordnet. It's the first application that uses my Force Directed Graph engine for Javascript. Use Visual Wordnet Yes ... Javascript.

Sources and Background Wordnet is a project at Princeton University's Cognitive Science Laboratory that provides a map of the English language. The idea of using Force Directed and Hyperbolic graphs to display and navigate Wordnet is nothing new. Known Issues (echoed from my initial post on Force Directed Graphs) Performance: As currently implemented, the graphing engine consumes a lot of processing power, even after the graph has settled.
