New Visualization of Connections

[luke-feeney]

Visualize connections between assets in environments where there is significant density of assets and connections. Basically, abstract away from the map and into a visualization.

When there are a lot of assets in a small area (such as a dense city), it can be very difficult to see the connections between the assets. It would be amazing to use the graph database that we built with to extract all the connections into a more appropriate visualization. This would allow users to see the density of connections between assets.

This could be done by way (D3 integration)[https://d3js.org/]. D3.js is a JavaScript library for manipulating documents based on data. D3 helps you bring data to life using HTML, SVG, and CSS. D3’s emphasis on web standards gives you the full capabilities of modern browsers without tying yourself to a proprietary framework, combining powerful visualization components and a data-driven approach to DOM manipulation.

We think a force directed graph visualization would be useful, but there are a range of approaches that could work.
