Article International Representation for the course of Information Visualization @VUB 2017
- Be able to give an article(title)/author? as input
- See the articles a paper is referenced in / referenced by (as a graph)
- Be able to get all the metadata (by hovering on a node)
- Be able to click on another node of the graph and center the viz on it (aka being able to see the articles it is referenced in / referenced by). This way, by always clicking on the referenced papers, we can track down one of the founding papers.
- The founding papers should be easily accessible (through a button for example).
- Same goes for going back to the user's paper.
- Being able to see where an article's authors are/were located (at the time of release) (can be multiple places) on a map.
- Same goes for the referenced papers.
- Same goes for the referencing papers.
- Easy way for the user to choose which information gets shown.
- Visualizations in D3.js
- Respect the course conventions
- Be able to look for a keyword and see the "locations" of the papers having that word as a keyword.
A founding paper is a scientific paper that bootstraps a topic and doesn't reference any other paper on that topic. The topic of a paper is determined by its keywords.
The location of a paper is the locations of the authors at the time the paper is published. Only the main authors are taken into account. The main authors are determined with a weight factor.
