ESIP 2021 Winter Meeting Preparatory Material for the meeting session 'Carbon Management, Food, Agriculture, Human well-being: Using informatics to connect the climate action dots'

How does the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) relate to President Biden's goals for managing the US's contribution to the global carbon budget? What is the role of the farming sector and crop management best practices? How can your work as a research scientist inform farm management?

Below, we show an experimental visualization that uses selected documents to show the connections between entities like the SDGs, journal publications, a private sector white paper, and US government reports. You may need to click on the image below to initiate the rendering of a concept graph. The graph is 'live': experiment with zooming, panning, and clicking on nodes and relationships (relationships are the lines connecting nodes). Look for the "Open in a new window" icon in the menu bar, right next to the word "WORKBOOK" below. Clicking on that icon opens up a new browser tab to better visualize the concept graph.

The data for the visualization is maintained in a "labeled property graph" database called Neo4j. A database query, written in the Neo4j query language "Cypher", was issued against the database from within a Python Jupyter notebook. The query results were formatted and then sent to the Graphistry web service for visualization.
