The New Plan
Let's face it, the old plan was cumbersome
- Didn't provide for much organization of information
- Didn't support multiple views of the data
Time, then, for a New Plan!
- Harvest raw data, same as we used to (only now with improved tools)
- Render data into adjacency files (lists and matrices): mapAdjacencies.pl
- Now we can write various scrips to describe subsets of the adjacencies,
or to produce statistics about them
- And then, finally, render them using GraphViz
Advantages
- Decoupling data description from data analysis: we're not locked into
just one way of describing the relationships we spot
- Ditching Afterglow (no disrepect-- it's a great tool) lets us be more
granular about the way we describe-- and render-- the data
