A couple months ago I had a very unpleasant
experience trying to munge the relations between topics in the
day's New York Times using RDF and GSS. I can't remember what I saw, earlier today, that pointed to
the Perl
bindings for GraphViz, but when I read the docs I
realized that all I needed to do was loop over a nested hash
calling add_*.
After a few false starts I've added code to the cron jobs that
run every morning to generate a
pretty picture version of the daily Who's
on first at the New York Times? stuff. The graph is generated as an SVG file because dumping to PNG
creates an image roughly 12000 pixels in width which, in turn,
causes Mozilla to die a slow and painful death. I guess the
next step is to add happy clicky links to the various nodes...
