Zooming in and out seems to be their approach for that problem, the more you zoom out the most specific nodes lose their labels; for a music graph I would guess that would be the songs, and even further out maybe join artists by genre (or decade)
But yeah that approach may be limited as well for such an ambitious project, in the long term I think they should have a list of categories you may check (or uncheck) to show only the subjects you are interested at the moment, e.g. health, money and education.
- informationart 5y agoLove this discussion and totally agree about the challenges of visualizing a network graph with lots of nodes! (I'm Lisa, head of design at System.) We'll be doing a lot more work on the graph in future releases to allow the user more filter controls.
- EGreg 5y agoMy dad got funding 24 years ago to make “InfoPlanet” and I think most of the time they worked a lot on visualizations of data as nodes on a planet. I also worked with a friend Alex 15 years ago who made TouchGraph and he had to work on that stuff too. I can put you in touch.
