Abstract
The following graphical representations, of frame instance data, are presented: Instance Graph and Instance Plot. An Instance Graph is a kind of directed graph that represents directed relationships between items, as established by frame instances. An example frame is the Preference Frame, as applied to online opinion data. The degree or “influence” of a node can be graphically indicated. Multiple edges, between two nodes, can be represented as a compound edge. Each node can be modeled as having a field, causing it to repel all other nodes, which each edge can be modeled as producing an attractive force. The “net preference” of a node is the difference between its outdegree and indegree. From the “influence” and “net preference” values, for nodes of an Instance Graph, an Instance Plot can be produced. One axis of an instance plot is based on “influence” and another axis is based on “net preference.”
