Visual Thesaurus/Lexipedia-like web application
Jul 6th, 2009, 6:16am  
Hi to all,
I'm totally a newbie of Processing framework and I would like to develop (like subject suggests) an interactive web application like Visual Thesaurus or Lexipedia in order to obtain something like that

arianna.libero.it/graph/search/abin/graphnews?fromhpreg=1&r=12&query=obama&x=0&y
=0&depth=1&last=2

Like you can see, it's a sort of semantic map in which every entity is linked to each other because there's a semantic relationship (in this case, the relationship is retrieved in a cluster of news documents).
You can click in a node and the map is built again based on the chosen entity; you can click in an arch between two entities and you are redirected to the news documents in which the two entities appear.

Someone has some suggestions to give me in order to use Processing at this scope?
Thank you very much in advance.

I suggest to look at the various tutorials, to get your feet wet in Processing, not necessarily directly related to your final goal. How to load data, how to get something displayed, how to handle animation...
Later, you might want to look at some graph libraries, like Traer physics.
