WARNING: While we are experimenting with Kumu during the Alpha and Beta stages of this project, the link to the Graph is likely to change (a result of how Kumu links are structured). We will keep this page linked as those changes occur, so if you get an error going to an old link, please come back here.

The Data in this project is great, and we are really excited to build it more and more, but what started it all was this idea about a network graph showing Organizations in the ecosystem.

We want to build on that idea to incorporate other Entities (like Groups, Activities, Artifacts, and even Individuals), but there are a lot of associated Data challenges there, so we started with Google Sheets and Kumu and will continue exploring with Partners to see what else might be helpful and more robust.

Initial Graph

We populated the Alpha with just Government Organizations and are building from there, trying to capture the right layers while also finding views that simplify the complexity.

This will be most of the fun of this project (isn't Data Visualization always fun?) and we look forward to Feedback, so feel free to Contact Us!

Future Graphs

As we think about the future, we want to expand to include the Map and Timeline (both of which can be uniuque or just different views of the same Data) - we don't know the right answer yet on how to do this, and expect that working with Partners will likely open up other avenues for Data Visualization that we may want to explore.
