Hi everyone,
Cristóbal Torres, in CC, has been working in the past few months on a new web application for Wikidata called WoolNet. The application helps users to find and visualise connections between Wikidata entities. We are pleased to share this application with you, and would love to hear your thoughts. We've prepared a quick survey, which links to the system:
https://forms.gle/sCNqrAtJo98388iC6
We are also happy for you to forward this email or the system to whomever you think might be interested.
The application was developed by Cristóbal in the context of his undergraduate thesis here in the University of Chile.
Thoughts, comments, questions, etc., very welcome!
Best, Aidan
That's great!
... Where can we find this application?

The tool is linked on the second page of the survey Aidan linked.
@Aiden and Cristóbal: Great tool. Thanks for putting it together! One thing I noticed that can maybe be improved is that it seems to focus on relations between two nodes first before moving on to other nodes. I tried China, Brazil and Germany and the timer ended when it had only added connections between two of them (diplomatic relations, there are _a lot_ of them...).
Cheers Lydia
Hi Lydia, all,
Many thanks for the feedback on the system!
For those wanting just to play with the system you can try it here:
https://woolnet.dcc.uchile.cl/
The survey itself is here:
https://forms.gle/sCNqrAtJo98388iC6
(Just in case someone wishes to answer the survey, it might be best to do so before reading on further.)

Thanks, yes, that's a useful test-case! I think with the way the algorithm proceeds it might not be trivial to address this, but we understand the issue. Regarding there being a lot of diplomatic relations, that's a second issue that we've discussed; we do think it would be useful to somehow give the users the power to filter some of the connections that are formed by relation type, for example. This might come in a later iteration if there is sufficient interest in further developing the tool. It would not be difficult in a technical sense, but it's a question of how to do it in a usable way. :)
I created an issue here for the former improvement:

Surely you could have found more appropriate subjects than Hitler and Mussolini!
