[REVIEW] Add to multilayer introduction and make it more visible. #36

Closed nwlandry closed 1 week ago

nwlandry commented 3 weeks ago

I really liked the overview page, but it would be great to 1) link to it on the README 2) add a visual(s) of multilayer networks for newcomers and 3) clarify the language surrounding "aspects". I understand that (like in Multilayer Networks), this is pretty standard terminology, but it might be more consistent to rename aspects to num_layers or something similar.

Overview is now linked to the README, both README and overview contain network visuals, and the overview has been augmented to include the formal multilayer-network definition and an example of what "aspects" means. Crucially, we cannot rename "aspects" to "number of layers" or the like because this would misrepresent the semantics and run counter to the established terminology (of which I personally am also not a fan, but oh well). I hope this settles all sub-issues of this issue – but feel free to reopen in case you feel otherwise!

@dataspider --- perfect, I agree that this is done.
