Relations between persons #50

Closed aso2101 closed 7 years ago

aso2101 commented 7 years ago

@wsalesky you don't happen to know of anything that will take relational data (like the TEI <relation> element or some JSON serialization thereof) and turn it into a nice-looking family tree? I know d3 can do it, and I am looking into https://github.com/ErikGartner/dTree, https://github.com/mrblueblue/d3-react-family-tree, and https://github.com/Yakubovich/descendant_tree, but maybe you have some ideas. In any case we would probably need to convert the TEI <relation>s to JSON.

Do you have a preference for one of the above examples? I have used d3js with TEI data in the past (http://wwwb.library.vanderbilt.edu/exist/apps/srophe/spear/browse.html?view=relations), I'm sure we can write a script to extract the data in the format needed.

I had no idea about SPEAR! Very impressive. For this data, I think something very simple and clean will work, which is why I was inclined to dTree, but it doesn't seem to provide out-of-the-box support for labelling the relationships.

I thought that each "set" of relationships (familiar, pedagogical, etc.) could be displayed in a small panel in person.html (like the "map" panel on place.html). It would also be useful to have links in the SVG diagram to the different people involved.

Do you have any persons records marked up with relationship information? If so, I can experiment with a few of these to see what we can come up with.
