Navigating Networks

Explore networks of artistic collaboration

The Navigating Networks service provides an interactive interface for exploring and analysing networks of artistic collaborations in the AusStage database.

Network visualisation and analysis can reveal patterns of collaboration between artists which have previously been unrepresentable using conventional text-based displays. This service presents existing data in new ways, allowing researchers to interrogate the collaborations that underpin creativity in the performing arts.

Explore networks of artistic collaboration using the Navigating Networks interface. You can also Export Graph Data for use in stand-alone applications such as Visone and Gephi.

Note: The interface for browsing networks uses the Protovis toolkit for visualisation; it only works in up-to-date browsers, such as Safari 5.x, Firefox 3.6x and Google Chrome 6.x.

More information on the service is available in our Wiki including:

• Navigating Networks Specification - Outline the service and provide context to the development
• Navigating Networks Dataset - Information about the RDF dataset used by the Navigating Networks Service.
• GraphML File Format - Information about the graphML file format - used to export network informaion for use with third party Network Visualisation Software.
