Experimenting with the cern data yesterday -
www.flickr.com/photos/danbri/4326955233/
ie. marc dumps from cern.ch/bookdata
53,000 lines drawn on a radial plot, where the angle is derrived from
the core UDC decimal codes (breaking ':', and throwing out anything in
parens or punctuation...
It may be buggy; for example there are a few lines in the 0.4* zone
which is supposed to be empty; I've not x-checked this against source
data yet
Length of line in the viz is unimportant; i should have randomised
it... this really is just playing for now --- idea is to be able to
visualise udc-based classification data, eg. from a content collection
or about a user...
Hypothesis then was that taking cern's data should show its emphasis
on engineering topics... I think the flickr diagram (if you check out
the 'mouseovers') somehow supports this, at least it shows they don't
have tons of poetry in the collection...
