In a paper entitled "Visualizing Social Bookmarks", Joris Klerkx and Erik Duval describe how it's often hard in most social bookmarking tools to discover implicit structures between tags, users and bookmarks. This is mostly due to the flat nature of tags, and an intrinsic trait of folksonomy in opposition to traditional hierarchical structures.
In an effort to solve this problem, the authors designed a system that "attempts to visualize these structures, so that end users can explore the social bookmarks in a playful, efficient and flexible way. " In this work, a cluster map visualization application is customized to enable users to explore social bookmarks in the del.icio.us system. The design of the application aims to automatically identify tag and community structures, and visualizes these structures in order to increase the users' awareness of them.

Neoformix - Discovering and Illustrating Patterns in Data. Advanced Search. 16 Awesome Data Visualization Tools. From navigating the Web in entirely new ways to seeing where in the world twitters are coming from, data visualization tools are changing the way we view content. We found the following 16 apps both visually stunning and delightfully useful. Visualize Your Network with Fidg’tFidg’t is a desktop application that aims to let you visualize your network and its predisposition for different types of things like music and photos.
Currently, the service has integrated with Flickr and last.fm, so for example, Fidg’t might show you if your network is attracted or repelled by Coldplay, or if it has a predisposition to taking photos of their weekend partying. As the service expands to support other networks (they suggest integrations with Facebook, digg, del.icio.us, and several others are in the works), this one could become very interesting. BigSpy places stories at the top of the screen as they are dugg. Visualize Flickr Tags Over TimeTaglines from Yahoo!

As an encyclopedia, it's articles span millions of topics. Being a human edited entity, connections between topics are diverse, interesting, and sometimes perplexing - five hops takes you from subatomic particles to Snoop Dog.
Wikipedia is revealing in how humans organize data and how interconnected seemingly unrelated topics can be. During my time at AT&T Labs, which coincidently has a great information visualization group, I started think about how to visualizing something as massive as Wikipedia. With roughly 1.5 million articles (vertices) and tens of millions of article links (edges), a comprehensive visualization package would have to found or built. I don't buy into the reuse-recycle methodology. And so I leaped head first into my own large-scale data visualization project, from scratch. WikiViz v5 The fifth incarnation of WikiViz (v5) saw several significant improvements.
WikiViz v1 to v4. A Periodic Table of Visualization Methods. Many Eyes. Online graphical dictionary. Visuwords™ online graphical dictionary — Look up words to find their meanings and associations with other words and concepts. Produce diagrams reminiscent of a neural net. Learn how words associate. Enter words into the search box to look them up or double-click a node to expand the tree. Click and drag the background to pan around and use the mouse wheel to zoom.
Hover over nodes to see the definition and click and drag individual nodes to move them around to help clarify connections. It's a dictionary! It's a thesaurus! Visuwords™ uses Princeton University’s WordNet, an opensource database built by University students and language researchers. The Visuwords™ Interface To use the applet you only need to type a word into the search query at the top of the page and press 'Enter'.

RhNav/Text Mining - Mind Your Own Business Blog & Wiki (mdm.net) Rhnav - rhizome navigation used to create genealogy motion graphics - Mind Your Own Business Blog & Wiki (mdm.net) I kept quiet about this project for quite a while, but now is the time to tell you a little bit about it: For an upcoming documentary by Benedikt Bjarnason, Rhizome Navigation was used to create animated visualizations of large genealogy data sets. Below you can find a sample. It shows a 3d family tree starting with director Bjarnason at the bottom and going up to early icelandic settlers from early 10th century.
The graph layout was done using an adapted force-directed algorithm and features more than 3300 persons. What set's it apart from similar visualizations is the capability to show far more complex relationships by breaking up the classic tree structure and following a more rhizome-like approach - and of course the sheer amount of relationships shown. Rhizome Navigation is a development framework for building data mining and information visualization related (real-time) applications. It is based on the wonderful processing.

A Periodic Table of Visualization Methods. Macro view of newsgroups. In the previous phase we tried to explore the evolution of shape form in relation to a representation of an individual. In this phase we started to focus on visualising the macro level - a landscape that depicts many newsgroups and the relationships among them. The first six images on the left show an attempt to map newgroups by the total number of posts they have against time (when was the last message in the thread posted?). Here, the number of posts uses the radius of the circle (centre point to away from centre point); the number of posts get larger towards the centre of the screen. Therefore one can imagine that the most active newsgroups will be found towards the centre of the screen.
The difficulty of this type of mapping is that the centre area can become over-flooded and cluttered, thus hard to read. We also thought of mousing over a shape will inform the user the name of the newsgroup, rather than all shapes flagging their group name. La Blogosphere Politique. RTGI is a French Social Media Analysis company that specializes in research on the territories and geography of online information. With the goal of mapping the topology of the World Wide Web, RTGI has developed a series of analytical solutions and projects, and partner with renowned institutions. One of the most interesting projects developed by RTGI is the Observatoire Presidentielle (Presidential Observatory). This project (accessed online) is a place for Web analysis devoted to the 2007 French presidential election, which first round of voting will take place on Sunday, April 22, 2007. Among different studies and tools available for "feeding a fertile political debate", RTGI produced a flash tool entitled "La Blogosphere Politique" where one can visualize the french political blogosphere by main political parties.
It represents hyperlinks between more than 1100 political weblogs and the date of the exploration was October 17, 2006. Welkin. What is this? Welkin is a graph-based RDF visualizer. What's New in Version 1.1 Works on Windows, Linux and MacOSX. Added support for Turtle/N3 RDF syntax. Ok, how do I run it? The easiest way is to run Welkin thru Java WebStart. If the application doesn't start when you click the link above, you don't have Java WebStart installed in your machine. Cool, now what? Welkin visualizes RDF models. A word of warning: above 1000 nodes, real-time drawing performance degrades dramatically even on beefy machines.
How can I learn more about it? The best way is to read the Welkin User Guide. Where do I download it? You can obtain Welkin in two different ways: In case you want to download the files from the repository (for example, if you want to have the latest and greatest development snapshot), you need to have a Subversion client installed.
Svn co welkin at the command line and the latest welkin distribution will appear in the "welkin" directory. Credits. The InfoVis Pool. Trends. Knowledge Media. Websites as graphs - an HTML DOM Visualizer Applet. Connect - The Visualiser.
