This set of visualizations started as a collaboration between Christoph Römhild and myself. Christoph, a Lutheran Pastor, first emailed me in October of 2007. He described a data set he was putting together that defined textual cross references found in the Bible. He had already done considerable work visualizing the data before contacting me.

Together, we struggled to find an elegant solution to render the data, more than 63,000 cross references in total. As work progressed, it became clear that an interactive visualization would be needed to properly explore the data, where users could zoom in and prune down the information to manageable levels. However, this was less interesting to us, as several Bible-exploration programs existed that offered similar functionality (and much more).

The bar graph that runs along the bottom represents all of the chapters in the Bible. Additional details: Entities with less than 40 connections are drawn at an angle.

A simple visualization of IRC communication behavior: Who is talking to whom? Or, more appropriately: Who is namedropping whom? Circles represent users Arcs represent references … where a reference is a message from a user containing the name of another user.

Arcs are directional and drawn clockwise: In the upper half of a graph they point from left to right, in the bottom half from right to left. Arc strength corresponds to the number of references from the source to the target. This visualization favors strong social connections over sociability: Frequent references between the same two users feature more prominently than combined references from several sources to a single target. 1.
