Wikileaks, like you've never seen it before.
Over the last couple of months I've been scraping the Wikileaks website and downloading all of the complete email sets I could get my hands on. After extracting the email headers and sanitizing the data I was then able to visualize each data-set by turning them into interconnected network graphs.
Each graph includes a search function and filter that helps to easily find and explore individual people and connections. The network graphs produced from this data help to uncover stories normally hidden from normal search functions. Below is a screenshot of the website I've built to host the network visualizations.
The first installment in this new project is an interactive network visualization of John Podesta's emails.
The graph is made up of several different colors. Each color references smaller communities within the wider network. For example, the green and blue colored communities to the top right-hand corner of John Podesta's graph are associated with his Georgetown email addresses and connections. The red community to the bottom left of the graph shows that he was part of an email subscription group relating to Hillary Clinton. Finally, the orange community nested within the inner pink cluster is a close network of senior Clinton staffers.
This isn't the only project I've been working on. Recently, I've begun building multiple, fully-searchable, indexed databases that contain data dumps from a variety of sources including both the recent 9-11, and Integrity Initiative data dumps. More to come on this in a future update post.
Also look out for some new WL animations that I'll be publishing soon over on my other account @animate.
