Abstract
Techniques for displaying a relationship graph are described herein. In one example, a search term may be used to obtain a plurality of documents from a network, such as the Internet. A plurality of entities, and relationships between at least some of those entities, may be extracted from the documents. In an example user interface, representations of a plurality of entities may be displayed, such as by shapes (e.g., circles) labeled to identify people or organizations. Edges (e.g., lines) may be used to connect different representations of entities and to thereby indicate a relationship between the connected entities. In a particular example, input from movement of a cursor over an edge may result in display of a description of a relationship between the connected entities. In a further particular example, size of each entity may be related to a number of connections each has with others.
