C-Link - Concept Linkage In Knowledge Repositories

http://www.conceptlinkage.org/ Knowledge repositories proliferate at an accelerating rate. While these offer excellent support for specific information searches, there is limited support for unstructured browsing or semi-structured information gathering, when a user does not know what there is to know (but wants to find information connecting known concepts). --- Use C-Link Now!

ConceptNet 5

http://conceptnet5.media.mit.edu/ About ConceptNet ConceptNet is a semantic network containing lots of things computers should know about the world, especially when understanding text written by people. It is built from nodes representing concepts , in the form of words or short phrases of natural language, and labeled relationships between them. These are the kinds of things computers need to know to search for information better, answer questions, and understand people's goals. If you wanted to build your own Watson, this should be a good place to start! Notice how the relations between concepts can be abstract notions such as MadeOf, which we use to mean the same thing across all languages; or they can be language-specific text such as "inversely proportional to".
...more example pictures In 2004 a book was published by the Interaction Design Institute of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Zürich, on the subject of "the interaction" and its place in the world of man-machine-communications. The book, Total Interaction, is a compilation of nineteen essays which offer different perspectives on this complex thematic field; the issues they tackle form the basis of the Institute’s work, research and teaching. As "Total Interaction" took shape, it became apparent to its editors that the concepts under discussion would have to be illustrated, in order to help the reader understand not only the content of each individual essay, but also the thematic links relating the essays to each other. http://www.munterbund.de/visualisierung_textaehnlichkeiten/essay.php

General

http://tulip.labri.fr/TulipDrupal/ Written in C++ the framework enables the development of algorithms, visual encodings, interaction techniques, data models, and domain-specific visualizations. One of the goal of Tulip is to facilitates the reuse of components and allows the developers to focus on programming their application. This development pipeline makes the framework efficient for research prototyping as well as the development of end-user applications.

http://www.continentalsoftware.com/found-in-space/ Many types of relational data do not have a natural shape. Probably the most unique feature in Found-in-Space is its layout algorithm, which shapes data that is otherwise shapeless . This feature can be seen as a sort of Morphogenesis (from the Greek morphê shape and genesis creation).

Thinkmap Visual Thesaurus

http://www.visualthesaurus.com/sales/
The Visual Thesaurus is an interactive dictionary and thesaurus which creates word maps that blossom with meanings and branch to related words. Its innovative display encourages exploration and learning. You'll understand language in a powerful new way. Say you have a meaning in mind, like "happy." The VT helps you find related words, from "cheerful" to "euphoric."

How It Works : Thinkmap Visual Thesaurus

Large Networking Company licenses Thinkmap to use as a means of more quickly understanding data from their configuration management database Thinkmap's ability to show networks of information combined with performance metrics allow for drill down and filtering in near real time. This therefore allows both better planning for redundancy, and post-mortem analysis of network problems.

Thinkmap visualization software facilitates communication, learning, and discovery.

We have designed Thinkmap to be easily extendable, fast, and able to integrate with a wide variety of legacy systems. Thinkmap is composed of a number of loosely coupled components that can be quickly reconfigured to fulfill many different visualization tasks. These components are lightweight, flexible, and standards-based. The unique features of Thinkmap start with a sophisticated core. The core enables the dynamic, asynchronous flow of data that is Thinkmap's hallmark.

Pajek.net files from Roget's Thesaurus

Graphs Cut and paste the text output by the query into a text-only editor (or select Paste Special and choose "Unformatted Text"), then save the file as word.net e.g. test.net This will return a Pajek-format file of the restricted semantic neighbourhood of the input word, as a relation between words only ( example ).
