Another data visualisation of religious texts
February 7th, 2008 by Paul NikkelI came across another beautiful data visualisation today - this time it is a more basic visualisation of characters, verbs, occurrence across the major religious texts. It’s called “Similar Diversity” and is made by Philipp Steinweber and Andreas Koller.
The large arc visual shows the 41 most frequent characters from different Holy Scriptures and their communalities.
The characters are aligned alphabetically on the x-axis. Their names’ and the arcs’ size is calculated from their total wordcount in all scriptures. According to that, characters which play a big role in several scriptures are displayed larger.
The colored segments of the arcs are showing the frequency of the word resp. the character in the particular Holy Books.
