Correspondence Network

This visualization reveals the network of relationships between senders and recipients in the Plessner collection, emphasizing individuals with frequent correspondence. It provides a selective snapshot rather than a comprehensive view of the entire archive.

Blue dots represent individuals, while orange dots signify exchanged letters. Clicking on a blue dot highlights all letters associated with that person, offering an intuitive way to explore connections.

The visualization demonstrates how Linked Open Data (LOD) can uncover and explore relationships within the collection. Created using Omeka S, the entire dataset is available for download in JSON-LD format, enabling users to analyze it with other tools or combine it with other datasets. For additional information about the database structure, visit the About tab.

We hope this encourages deeper exploration of how LOD can enhance the study and accessibility of the Plessner archive.
