Wikipedia Graph Browser Project

by Jorn van de Beek, Marcel van der Meulen, and Cláudio Lourenço

A user's browsing history through Wikipedia is displayed as a graph. Articles are displayed as nodes. Moving through a link in an article to another article is displayed as an edge between the nodes representing those two articles. JSVis is used to display this graph in SVG and provide some interaction. The XML representation of the articles as found on dbpedia.org is used to display the article type and summary. Zooming and panning is used to read the text on the article nodes and to browse through the graph.
