Alternative Relations on Graphs


Posted by Thomas Sutton on December 20, 2004

This project has, so far, focused on visualising graphs of only one relation on clauses, namely the parent-child relation. Whilst the addition of temporality adds an extra dimension to such a view, it would be interesting to expand the number of relations.

Another point which might bear investigation is the degree of temporal locality in the graphs growth. A graph with iterations (or whichever time quanta is appropriate) as nodes and the relation between the nodes of one quanta and another being an edge between them. The degree of the relation might be reflected in the weight of the edge. This could be visualised with a time quanta being positioned in a ring layout, with the temporal relation forming the ring, and the “share-a-relation” relation being the internal links.
