Political power as an evidence web

This is the first visual basis for a detective-style investigation wall: people, topics and dossiers are shown as pinboard nodes with visible connections.

Research cases

These example routes show where the current dataset already offers a concrete path for investigation.

These are research signals based on public source links, not proof of guilt, secret coordination or unlawful conduct.

How to read this board

Person -> topic

A red line means a person touches that topic through linked documents.

Person + person

Under "Strongest person pairs" you see who returns in the same dossiers or topic clusters.

Next phase

After extra imports, party, group, OEIL and lobbying relations can also become visible here.

What you are seeing now Open research modes

This board is still a prototype. It shows that people, parties, groups, countries, topics and dossiers can be linked technically, but it is not yet the final research experience for ordinary visitors.

Research modes

The next build step is not a larger chaos graph, but multiple clear entry points. Start from a research question and let the visualisation adapt to it.

Explore a topic

Pick a topic and see which people, parties, countries, dossiers and sources belong to it.

Go to topics

Explore a person

See what a person stands for, which connections are visible and which documents, votes and sources return.

Search a person

Explore a country

See how a country is represented in the European Parliament and which parties, groups and topics dominate.

Use the institutional board

Explore a party

Follow which people, countries, groups, dossiers and topics come together around a national party or European group.

View parties on the board

Explore an organisation

Later connect organisations, registers, contact lines and public sources to politicians and dossiers.

Next build step

Compare

Later compare two people, countries, parties or organisations on dossiers, topics and voting patterns.

Still in design

Make international patterns visible through countries, geopolitical lines and thematic networks.

Analysis blocks Political streams equalizer + Institutional centres of gravity

Political streams equalizer

Read this equalizer as a quick intensity meter. Taller bars mean: more visible links, more dossiers or more people in this selection.

Institutional centres of gravity

These charts show where relatively many people and thematic weight come together.

Countries

National parties

Political groups

Visual network layer Open visual network layer

This is the more experimental network view. Use it as visual depth, not as the first explanation of the data.

Raw thematic network layer Open raw thematic layer

Here you see the underlying thematic links between people, topics and dossiers. This is useful for pattern recognition, but less suitable as a first overview.
