Graph Visualization of People connections

Iron Contributor

Hi,

 

When on the graph explorer https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer# if we call https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/people the returning json returns a list of people I work with including a rank value that determines how strong the connection is.

 

This is the same list of people we can see in Delve under "liveprofileworkingwith" 

In Delve, you can jump from one profile to the next, effectively navigating this graph of relationships without ever seeing any of the edges .

 

What I'm after is any application that would represent this people graph as an actual navigable visual graph, like graphviz, or cytoscape, or Microsoft's very own MAGL. Are you aware of any such tool?

 

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Maybe you should look into power BI. Just check out the custom visualizations, I remember there was at least one doing what you would like to have.

Thanks Luka.

 

There is a Graph custom visual, but from the options I saw, it requires the full graph data to be available in a table type format for the graph to be generated.

 

I was hoping for something that feeds from the Graph API and dynamically builds the graph as you navigate, without having to get a full copy of the directory data.

 

Wonder if @Jeremy Thake has seen anything like this on his Hyperfish research?

Could be a good addition to V2 of the employee directory guide
