Datasets

All data sets are provided in dot format.

Les Misérables network (Download)

Undirected network modeling co-occurances of characters in Victor Hugo's novel 'Les Misérables'. A node represents a character and an edge between two nodes shows that these two characters appeared in the same chapter of the the book. The weight of each edge indicates how often such a co-appearance occurred.

  • Number of nodes: 77, number of edges: 254
  • Suggestion: use this dataset to experiment with force-directed and tree layouts.
  • You can find more information on the structure of the network here.
  • The network has been used to illustrate functionality of the force-directed layout here.

Rome graph (Download)

One of the graphs of the Rome graph collection, commonly used to experiment with general purpose graph layouts.

  • Number of nodes: 100, number of edges: 119
  • Suggestion: use this dataset to experiment with force-directed and tree layouts.

Jazz Network (Download)

A collaboration network between Jazz musicians. Each node is a Jazz musician and an edge denotes that two musicians have played together in a band. The data was collected in 2003.

  • Number of nodes: 198, number of edges: 2742
  • Suggestion: use this dataset to experiment with force-directed and tree layouts.
  • You can find more information on the structure of the network here.

Small Directed Network (Download)

One of the networks we experimented with during the first lecture.

  • Number of nodes: 24, number of edges: 27
  • Use it to experiment with the layered layout.
  • As an example, here is the layered layout generated by yEd.

Pro League Network (Download)

Results of football games in Belgium from the Pro League in the season 2016/2017. Nodes are teams, and each directed edge from A to B denotes that team A played at home against team B. The edge weights are the goal difference, and thus positive if the home team wins, negative when the away team wins, and zero for a draw. The exact game results are not represented; only the goal differences are. The data was copied by hand from Wikipedia.

  • Number of nodes: 16, number of edges: 239
  • Suggestion: use this dataset to experiment with layered layout and tree layouts.
  • This is a very dense graph, i.e. the ratio of edges/vertices is very high! To obtain a readable visualization you can filter the edges by weight.
  • You can find more information on the structure of the network here.

Argumentation network (Download)

The network shows a logical reconstruction of a scientific debate among 19th century geologists, namely the Great Devonian Controversy.

  • Number of nodes: 335, Number of edges: 1015
  • the nodes are of two types: statements and arguments
  • nodes are arranged in clusters: "subgraphs" of the dot format
  • A lot of additional information about this network can be found here. This was a network proposed as a part of Graph Drawing contest in 2021.
  • Use this network to experiment with layered layout
  • Here are only two clusters of this network to experiment with edge bundling.

Political blogosphere network (Download)

This graph contains 1,490 blogs and 19,025 links between them.

  • Number of nodes: 1490, Number of edges: 19025
  • Attribute "value" indicates political leaning: 0 - left or liberal, 1 - right or conservative.
  • Use this network to experiment with edge bundling.
  • Video of force-directed layout of this network
