Interactive network graphs of Biblical Hebrew data.

Abstract

Knowledge workers, including Biblical Hebrew computational linguists, should look into the possibilities offered by graphical visualisation techniques to allow explorative investigation of available linguistic data, since this may prompt new hypotheses, which may then be examined in more traditional, empirical ways. This article experiments with two-dimensional and three-dimensional implementations of interactive network graphs to enable dynamic, "what-if" investigations, using semantic-role data from Genesis I:1-2:3, marked up in XML.
