mike-love.net - Genealogy of Influence

Genealogy of Influence is an open dataset of peer and influence links between historic figures. I started working on this project in the summer of 2005.

Graphviz layout: PDF 450kb - DOT 90kb

In July 2007, I added the data to Freebase where others have added new people and connections. It now includes more than 3100 figures. You can explore by clicking on one of the applications below, or going to the Influence domain at Freebase.

Recent additions:

mjt.mqlread([{ "id":null, "limit":10, "name":null, "sort":"-type.link.timestamp", "type":{ "id":"/influence/influence_node", "link":{ "timestamp":null } } }])

+ $person.name added $person.type.link.timestamp

error:

$msg.text
