Once you have your topic covered with all the data you need to drive home your point, you can choose a visualization you like to present that data within the context you deem necessary.
You might use particular filters to support a certain point of view. Or you might select a certain path through the network of interconnected entities to describe causal or factual relationships between a set of topics of interest. For instance one might start with the entity "Bulgaria" and proceed on to the event "Ratification of the Treaty of Bucharest", that "Bulgaria" was a part of, to show the state of the south-east European borders at that event.
The resulting presentation can then be exported as an animation, a text document, an infographic, etc. for use in social media posts or embedding in websites.
Any such visualization created for sharing will always contain a citation ID for the specific visualization. Depending on the media, this ID will be represented as a clickable link or a QR code. Either one will take the viewers of the presentation back to our platform such that they can inspect the visualization choices such as filters or context constraints. Visualizations can be created to show a particular point of view, but the settings for that view are always transparent to allow critique and analysis.
The audience of such a presentation can always look for themselves and check whether the interpretation is borne out by the source material or whether it depends on a strictly filtered perspective. Deception as to the course of events, the reasons, the actors, and the consequences are much harder to pull off if all the information is there to be inspected by everyone.
xplris makes it easy for you to share the information you want to get across and also for others to confirm it and use it as a spring board for their own investigation into the context of the problem that you are working on.
