Project Divisions

Ekşi Sözlük graph visualization project consists of four distinct applications:

• ek$iAPI: Class library (basically, a Windows DLL) for acquiring, manipulating and organizing Ekşi Sözlük data, coded in C#

• ek$iDump: A console application coded in C# which exploits ek$iAPI to retrieve entries from Ekşi Sözlük and “dump” them into an MS Access Database

• ek$iEdgeDump: A console application coded in C# which processes the entries acquired by ek$iDump and finds links between titles

• ek$iVista: The final application that outputs an image file depicting the connections between titles in Ekşi Sözlük using the data generated by ek$iEdgeDump.
  

Design and implementation details are given in the following sections.
