People network visualization

[Ku Liping]

Dear Colleague, 

1. Pls, to ask the manager of Web4LIB, whether your idea is allowed and whether you will get some useful information from the manager.

2. My personaly suggestion is to send a Excel sheet for member of Web4LIB, and give the reason about the relevant benefit and necessary.

3. Besides, I would like to support you, if you need.


All best, 
AlanKu

主题: [WEB4LIB] People network visualization



** apologies for cross-posting **

 

Hi everyone,

 

Here at our happy think tank we have an informal network of researchers from around the world who collaborate from time-to-time on various academic papers. Once a year, we bring together these researchers here at our office for a few days so that they can communicate and collaborate face-to-face. The rest of the year, their communication is largely virtual. This network is always growing and changing shape ---new researchers join, many change positions and jobs, and we lose a few now and then.

 

What I’d like to do is use an interactive visualization on our web site that will allow researchers to find each other. I want to “tag” the researchers according to their areas of study (I can develop a taxonomy here), affiliated institution, what years they attended our annual conference, etc.

 

I am looking at TheBrain, which is neat, but I want to embed it in our web site (wordpress). Any other ideas?

 

Thanks,

Kim
