Manylines, a graph web publication platform with storytelling features

Paul Girard, Mathieu Jacomy, Guillaume Plique

More and more people work with graphs nowadays, but it is not always easy to publish and share the graph interpretation on the web. Manylines is a web tool built at Sciences Po médialab to solve this issue. Some researchers and students use network visualizations to explore their data, but networks are not as clear as maps and sharing one’s interpretation is difficult. Manylines main innovation is to allow the user toexplain and share a narrative about his network: an interactive story where each “slide” is a particular zoom, pan and filtering of the network, completed by a title and description, with fluid transitions like in Prezi.
