• Calcutta, Indian subcontinent? • Location-commercial significance
• Baxter Brothers was the world's largest linen manufacturer (1840-1890) • Family names-organization
Conclusions • A really steep learning curve • Big data is BIG • Distributed computing is important • Data wants to tell interesting stories (we just need to interact) • Visualisation is powerful • Jigsaw is awesome • Lot of useful visualisation tools are ready to be used
• Generalizations and Interactions (future work)
THANK YOU FOR THE COOL (SCHOOL) EXPERIENCE
Big thanks to BRIGHTSOLID for providing the interesting dataset
