The Network

Jennifer Hastings, Jennifer King, Kelly Snow
Information Visualization, Fall 2005

This project proposes creating a visualization of the network of presidential cabinet members and advisors for the Clinton and G. W. Bush administrations. This visualization will allow the user to see the relationships between individuals and the origin of those relationships, much like Friendster or Vizster, but add more context to the relationships through additional data dimensions.
