The "proper" way to do a "cable2graph" free-form text search would be a 3-stage process:

Find the relevant MRNs
Genrate a neighborhood graph for those MRNs (nbh)
Create an html+svg from that graph (g2svg)

If we want to make a cable2graph web service that responds fast enough and doesn't use too many resources, the main concern would be stage 3.

This is a proof of concept for a "search lite" process that may not yield the best possible results,

White House petitions don't have an API yet so I wrote something quick and dirty for a specific petition in reply to a tweet by @PogoWasRight.

This thing scrapes the petition's signatures and produces histograms by state and city as a javascript file called histograms.js. This gist contains a snapshot copy of that file (generated when there were ~32K signatures) This means you can either clone the gist and view index.html, or simply use Mike Bostock's magic gist viewer.

https://gist.github.com/4544529 (demo) was my first d3 adventure, where I scraped signatures from a White House petition and showed them as a pie chart.

Here, I show them as a US heat map (based on one of Mike Bostock's map demos). You can click on a state, and see how many signatures came from it.

Darker color means more signatures, but since the numbers range from a few dozens to >4500, the scale is logarithmic. I don't know yet how to use log() interpolators (I promise to learn), so I just did it quick and dirty with linear() and masking tape.

Update: This prototype has turned into a bigger project: http://is.gd/CableWeaver

Here's a small gallery of Cable2Graph cable reference culsters (the graphs are named after countries, but they don't "represent" the entire body of cables related to them. It's just a handy naming convention). Each node (circle) represents a cable. Each link (line) represents reference between 2 cables.

Instructions

Hover over a node to see details of the cable it represents.
Click on a node to open the related cable in a new tab.

The problem

I live in █████████
Http connection to wikileaks is blocked, https connection isn't (so far)
If I click on an http wikileaks link in a tweet, here's what happens
- In the browser's URL bar I see the shortened t.co link
- Browser connects, gets redirected to a blocked url, and waits
- [perhaps █████████ also monitors this, but let's assume I'm a fearless idiot for a moment]
Since browser can't connect to the long url, it never displays the "bad" url in the url bar (so that I could add the s to it manually)

The initial version of this page was exported from a CableWeaver story line.

Additional information was then added manually (by The Dod and Taro), and eventually - this story got published at Wikileaks Press.

Possibly [and hopefully], additional information was added manually. If you have anything to add to this page, don't be shy. Fork us a scoop :)
