mike-love.net - Genealogy of Influence

Genealogy of Influence is an open dataset of peer and influence links between historic figures. I started working on this project in the summer of 2005. Here's an early description of the project.

Graphviz layout: PDF 450kb - DOT 90kb

In July 2007, I added the data to Freebase where others have added new people and connections. It now includes >1000 people and >2100 connections. You can explore by clicking on one of the applications below.

Recent additions:

mjt.mqlread([{ "id":null, "limit":10, "name":null, "sort":"-type.link.timestamp", "type":{ "id":"/user/mikelove/default_domain/influence_node", "link":{ "timestamp":null } } }])

+ $person.name added $person.type.link.timestamp

error:

$msg.text
