Notes

• check that we include necessary bits from schema: https://schema.org/SoftwareApplication
• https://openminds-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/v2.0/index.html
• Possible UI with two axis to reduce the number of options:
  • http://marcel.stimberg.info/simselect-playground/
• Instead of single machine etc, use "single processor", "multiple processors", "distributed processors"?
• Frontend frameworks:
  • https://www.sigmajs.org/
  • https://visjs.org/
  • Example of using Python to create networkx graph, and then sigma.js to visualize: https://timsainburg.com/graph-research-notes-wordpress-networkx-sigmajs.html
  • Keep looking at Holovitz panel to see if it has these features
• Moving slightly away from Python to JS because JS has more visualization options
• ACTION: Marcel: play around with the 1st stage 2D axis prototype
• ACTION: Ankur, Reema: data, relations, and JS visualization frameworks.
