Recently searching for a 'technical article' I stumbled upon this Microsoft page: http://academic.research.microsoft.com/. I found the paper I was looking for but was amazed by its VisualExplorer feature.
Have a look at this page: http://academic.research.microsoft.com/VisualExplorer#2037349.
The above page uses SilverLight
and will recommend you to use IE.
Like a curious human being I am now thinking of possible ways to implement it. A part of it seems easy:
- Parse the documents
- Make a list a authors(V) and distance between them (E) (i.e. co-author or co-co-author)
- Traverse the above graph (Breadth First)
- Show the top 5 or 6 connections
これはFlash、javascript、またはSilverlightで簡単に実行できることを私は知っています(またはむしろ感じています)。しかし、Java 2D / 3DまたはOpenGLバインディングを使用してこれを行う方法はありますか?
どんな考えでも大歓迎です。
