Gephi forums

Hello Friends,

The problem:
I have managed to come up with what I think is going to be a really juicy visualization project but in my mental infancy am not sure quite how to get the data into Gephi.

The Nuts:
Basically I want to take a series of .xsds and visualize their relationship. Within the .xsds, I would also like to visualize the parent/child relationship between the specific attributes. Excel won't support this type of activity with a series of .xsd packages (although it does with difficulty support XML import).

The crushing reality:
I don't think I have the coding ability to do this from scratch. Does anyone have some helpful hints, breadcrumbs leading in the right direction?

Once it is imported I think it will be a beautiful project allowing people to visualize an almost unusable dataset with thousands of nodes/attributes.

Thanks in advance,
B
P.S. Aesthetic ideas welcome as well.

firstly apologies if I don’t get exactly what you are after, it sounds like you are looking for graphical representation of your schema or xsd.

In which case you don’t necessarily need to code this yourself, you can use something like liquid xml schema editor to do the coding for you, it has a source code backend where you can paste and work with your code and a wysiwyg front end for you to view your schema, all nodes, attributes etc are clickable and can be dragged and dropped to change relationships etc.

is that what you are after?
