Gestern noch angesprochen und eine an allen Ecken und Enden angriffsoffene Halbthese daraus gebastelt, heute die ideale Illustration gefunden: das Social Network des Buchs der Bücher.

The first thing I did was build a list of biblical names - Wikipedia already had a comprehensive one (2619 names!). Using this list, I parsed the text of the King James Bible. When two names occurred in the same verse, a connection between those two entities was created. To make this information visually meaningful, I ran the network of connections through my WikiViz engine, which caused highly connected groups of entities to coalesce. I through it would be fitting to render the visualization using an old-world color scheme.

Soviel zur Behauptung, dass der Papst ein Popstar sei.
