The Experts Map is a force directed graph that allows a web user to explore intersections of people across disciplines and research expertise.
The Experts Map uses D3.js to render and searches an Elasticsearch index. This Experts Map is derived from the Find an Expert Capability Map, an example of which can be seen here.
The Elasticsearch index is populated by VIVO-ISF data using code derived from the Deep Carbon Observatory faceted search VIVO integration dco-elasticsearch.
The original Capability Map was designed and developed by Matěj Korvas, Martin Kwok, Melissa Makin, and Simon Porter from University of Melbourne. This implementation is designed to work with the Funnelback search engine over University of Melbourne VIVO data. To render the map, an interface has been built using D3.js over JSON data structures.
