WikiViz: Graph Visualization of Wikipedia Article Titles and Embedded Links.
Visualize and explore a graph of the embedded links within a Wikipedia article. The initial Wikipedia article title is the central node and titles of embedded links appear as child nodes distributed around the central node. Click on child nodes to reveal their embedded links and continue to grow your graph of article titles!
This project is in its early stages and will continue to grow with new features. If something is not working or you would like a new feature, please use the issues page.
