I've previously proposed changes to the design, IA, interaction and UX
of OpenAustralia to make the data more accessible and meaningful
(amongst other goals):

http://tickets.openaustralia.org/browse/OA-296

I've also previously proposed implementing a taxonomy for debates:

http://tickets.openaustralia.org/secure/attachment/10003/OpenAustrali...

I now bring you an idea for data visualisation (this is just one
possibility of many) designed to giving meaning to data, to help users
identify trends and increase data aggregation.

The example I've used here is a per-day over time trend of debate
topic representation in parliament:

Screen shot:

http://groups.google.com.au/group/openaustralia-dev/web/debate_topics...

Downloadable HTML/JS:

http://groups.google.com.au/group/openaustralia-dev/web/debate_topics...

It would also be useful to (from another source) introduce a news
vector which can be used to correlate increases in discussions of
particular topics around certain world events.

Hope that makes sense - I have a headache.

Thoughts?

Nathanael,

I'm a sucker for data visualisation! I even had a go at some
visualisations at the melb hackfest, so your ideas on the subject
interest me.

At the hackfest I did:
 - a Head Cloud (like a word cloud but using the image for each
member)
 - a word frequency graph for any given day

The word frequency graph is on github should you be interested.  I
recently added n-grams word combinations (unigram, bigrams and
trigrams) for added dimension.
http://github.com/srbartlett/words-in-parliament

Screenshot here:

Your ideas could be incorporated in the API I have built.  More than
happy to lend a hand.

cheers,
stephen.

Neat.
...where did you get your stopwords?

Regards

Matt

stopwords, they came form a similar project by the sunlight foundation
called capitolwords.org. Check it out -- it's pretty neat.

But I am sure a standard set of stopwords should be sufficient.  Might
be worth analysing...
