OECD – Your Better Life Index. Elastic lists. Background: Facet Browsing Facet browsers make different aspects of the underlying data accessible in parallel. Selecting one of the metadata values, and thus filtering the result set, restricts the available metadata values only to those occurring in the results. Consequently, the user is visually guided through an iterative process of query refinement and expansion, never encountering situations with zero results. Facet browsing applications impose no restrictions, in which order, or in which granularity filters are applied on a result set. This equal treatment of multiple dimensions differs from, e.g. typical web site structures or file systems, where a single taxonomy is the pre–dominant organization principle, and other metadata are only supplements for sorting or filtering.
Additionally, it is a common pattern to visualize the number of occurrences of a concept in the given focus.

Hover to pause, click to open full resolution The end result was a straight-forward radial network visualization, with the ingredients grouped by category (base mueslis, fruit, nuts, sweets, etc.). Some niceties have gone into the line rendering, with gradient strokes (depending on the categories of the connected nodes) and white stroke outlines to facilitate visual perception of the depth stacking. Some interesting insights can be gained from this visualization: Fruit are the most popular ingredient, and are often combined with each other.
Sweets and nuts, however, are rarely combined. Mango is often combined with coconut (Kokosnuß) or pineapple (Ananas), although these two don't tend to be used together. Goji berries with plantago seeds. Enter... the matrix But, as so often, a certain visualization form often highlights specific insights, but neglects others.
