It uses a radial ripple metaphor to display the passing of time and conveys relations among the different constituents through appropriate layout. Our method is particularly suitable when assuming an egocentric perspective, and we illustrate it on movie-actor biographies.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): information visualization, affiliation networks, timedependent visualization
