Duck Islands (Pink Floyd)

A suggestive experiment leveraging the duck similarity to create "islands" of similar RDF resources.

The technique make use of a fixed random seed, an offline force directed layout simulation to displace the nodes, a Voronoi tessellation and SVG ClipPath to create the cells.

The example depicts the neighborhood of the Pink Floyd resource within DBpedia. Songs and albums are somewhat mixed in the left side of the map, while people (far right), lables (bottom right) are isolated.
