[School-of-data] Any suggestions/links on how to visualize heavily cross-referenced documents

Tue May 28 15:23:10 UTC 2013

Thank you Tony and Mahroof for the suggestions.

I can't use canned software (like Readcube) because my citations are
'unusual' and I have to do my own regex/parser for them. But it was
interesting to see the references. It certainly gave me some ideas.

Regards,
   Alex.
