A GALLERY OF SOCIAL STRUCTURES A GALLERY OF SOCIAL STRUCTURESThe Network gallery documents work in progress in our efforts to visualize social structures. The aim is to develop experience how automatic procedures can be combined with aesthetics to ease insight into usually complex phenomena.
There are two tracks which visitors to our gallery can follow. As the
visualizations stem from varying subject domains you may choose to follow
the 
subject track, which organizes the presentation
around the thematic aspects of the datasets.
If your interest is more formal, you may wish to enter
the
technical laboratory. Here we demonstrate methodological
approaches for handling empirical data. This will often move quickly through
various substantive domains where similar technical problems arise.
There is also a html version of an article Simple Representations of Complex Networks , which describes some of the underlying techniques and contains a discussion of modelling problems. It is shown that the underlying principles can be extended from simple examples to the visualisation of complex systems of social structures. You can download a zipped postscript version of this article.
The NetVis Bulletin Board also contains up date info on new visualizations which have not yet been integrated into the Gallery.
