  • Project Abstract: The applications Graph Cities and Graph Strata are able to decompose graphs of over 1 billion edges into smaller subgraphs that can fit on a screen and be interactively explored without losing the context of the original graph. Observing these local subgraphs reveals a variety of patterns. This report serves to find a way to describe these patterns as well as unpack meaning from these patterns by generating data stories and detecting semantically important vertices through the vertex statistics, activity and diversity.
