OWNI présente Influence Networks, un répertoire ouvert et sémantique des relations entre personnalités, institutions et entreprises. Chaque élément est noté selon sa crédibilité, si bien que le bruit reste distinct du signal. En octobre 2010, lors du Personal Democracy Forum de Barcelone , plusieurs journalistes d’investigation ont expliqué comment ils avaient débusqué des affaires de corruption en procédant à l’analyse de réseaux. L’un d’entre eux, Dejan Milovac, a enquêté sur un projet immobilier situé sur la côte du Monténégro. Il a décortiqué les réseaux financiers autour du projet et montré comment des politiciens locaux étaient de mèche avec les promoteurs qui saccagent le littoral.

NNDB Mapper: Tracking the Entire World - information aesthetics
NNDB Mapper [nndb.com] is an interactive visualization tool for exploring the connections between people in the Notable Names Database (NNDB) , a huge data source containing the biographical details of over 34,000 persons for whom the public has demonstrated a permanent interest. The online application links all the people together through family relations, corporate boards, movies and TV, political alliances, or shadowy conspiracy groups, meanwhile also revealing their age, religion or organization. Individual maps can be saved and shared for others to explore. The relationships between people and other entities are represented through a simple network view (e.g. Dick Cheney ), while some subjects and themes also include a timeline view (e.g. physicists ). Map views can be custom-made and stored for others to see (e.g. all the corporate and political connections throughout the Fox Family or the founding fathers ).

In the 1980s, through his company Micro Associates, he sold subscriptions to this computerized database, under its original name, Public Information Research, Inc (PIR). At PIR's onset, Brandt was President of the newly formed non-profit corporation and investigative researcher, Peggy Adler , served as its Vice President. The material was described as "information on all sorts of spooks, military officials, political operators and other cloak-and-dagger types." [ 3 ] He told The New York Times at the time that "many of these sources are fairly obscure so it's a very effective way to retrieve information on U.S. intelligence that no one else indexes." [ 4 ] One research librarian calls it "a unique part of the 'Deep Web'", equally useful to investigative journalists and students. [ 5 ]
