I finally got Many Eyes to work and I uploaded the classical composer data to the site. I won’t embed the visualization here since it will slow down load times by far too much, but feel free to head over to the Many Eyes site and take a look.

[Interactive Visualization Here]

I can’t say I’m a huge fan of this visualization as it really doesn’t help understand the data all that much. The one I put together using Tulip employed a hierarchical visualization algorithm which really let you see how influence passed on from composer to composer. Here, all you see is that there are a lot of connections.

As great as the interactivity is, until IBM adds some more functionality to their relationship visualizations, I’ll stick with Tulip.
