- Ask Joseph about sending Adoption Info
- Who’s in the scope that he’s collecting
- Ask for all of his spreadsheets
- Add people nodes to sankey diagrams (DONE)
- Look up visualization papers
- Decide on Committee
- Make progress on proposal research
Notes
- Kathleen wants to follow wives (first wives) through the system, not just the men
- Sankey
- Structure by blood (currently what it does)
- Structure by spirit (what constitutes spirit? Adoption? Membership in group?)
- There are multiple Sankey networks to compare:
- Blood male-lineage
- Blood female-lineage
- Spirit
- How do they compare?
- Also compare with the church organization graph. Which influences which?
- Ex: RS ———- AQ ———– Q12
- Look at Kindred Britain
- Do we want people as nodes? (DONE)
- Could add the people as nodes of a different color or shape on the sankey flow daigram
- Ways to filter the sankey based on various facets:
- in a particular group (AQ, RS, …)
- in a particular pioneer company
- …
- Chord Diagrams
- Use an interface that the “Next” and “Previous” buttons go to the next or previous event, rather than by year
- Divorces
- Better way to show divorces on Chord?
- Chop them short so that they don’t go to the outer rim of the chord
- Multiple types of divorces need to be captured
- Divorce Date
- Cancellation Date
- Abandonment Date (perhaps the husband or wife just abandoned their family to start another one)
- New table
- Marriage events
- Date (of the event)
- Event type (controlled vocab: marriage, cancellation, divorce, abandonment)
- Marriage ID
- Notes
- Capturing Geographical Information
- If the root marriage wants to expand, the next logical question is who to include?
- Kathleen is interested to know if this includes neighbors or people close to the couple
- Visualization Research Locations
- Look into Visualization Conferences as places to submit this work for publication
