Fortune 50 Force Graph

Full Screen

This force graph is a visualization of the collective interconnectedness of the top 50 largest United States companies, using data from the 2015 iteration of Fortune magazine’s annual Fortune 500 list and the measurement of conceptual interdependence reported by IBM Watson’s Concept Insight API service. This visualization was constructed using watsongraph for querying (to learn more about watsongraph check out its GitHub repository), pandas for data aggregation and manipulation (refer here for the data munging), and d3.js for visualization (the code that you see here!).

This is meant to be a simple proof-of-concept of the use of the IBM Watson Cognitive Insights service via the watsongraph library for modeling things. Companies, in this case, or blocks of cheese, or planetary moons: whatever the case may be, with a little bit of work in extracting and cleaning your data you can probably visualize it.
