Existing Works: Mapping Locations to Geographic Positions
Advantages:
 Location properties and importance
 Instant visual queries of certain locations/areas
 Mainstreams of birth-death flows
Limitations:
 Point-to-Point Interactive relationships among certain locations
 Locations with high centrality worldwide, through different years
 Clustering patterns of highly interactive locations

(Force-directed Layout + simple sampling)
 Nodes with High Centrality
- “World Centers”
 Clusters of Highly Interactive Nodes
- “Cultural Circles”
