Lenses & Visualisations

The visualisation modes and domain lenses — force-directed, hierarchical, and cluster layouts, and the mission, institution, discovery, and scientific-lineage graphs — that reveal the shape and stories woven into the graph.

Cluster VisualisationVisualisation mode
Community / cluster grouping
A grouping of the graph into its natural communities — the tightly-linked clusters of related entities, such as a mission and its instruments, or a star and its planets. A rendering mode over the real link structure.
Force-Directed GraphVisualisation mode
Physics-laid-out node-link view
A node-link visualisation in which entities repel and relations pull, so the graph settles into a shape that reveals its clusters and hubs. A rendering mode over the real neighbourhood data.
Hierarchical GraphVisualisation mode
Layered / tree layout
A layered layout that arranges entities by level — a taxonomy from the top down, or a dependency chain from cause to effect. A rendering mode for the graph's hierarchical structure.
