More Hyperbolic Tree Visualisations - delicious URL History: Users by Tag

Building on from the previous post (delicious URL History - Hyperbolic Tree Visualisation), where I showed how the JavaScript Information Visualization Toolkit (JIT) could be used to visualise the delicious history of a URL, showing each user who had bookmarked a particulalr URL, and then, for each user, the tags they had used, I've just put together a script that will do the opposite...

That is, it will show all the tags used to describe a particular URL, and for each of those tags, it will show the users who used them:

You can find the demo here: http://ouseful.open.ac.uk/jit/examples/hypertree-demo2.php?mode=tag&url=http://spotlight.reuters.com/

You will notice two arguments, url and mode. The url should be set to the (escaped) URL you want the history of. The mode should be set to user (the default) or tag.

The user view plots the users who bookmarked the URL, and the tags they used. The tag view (as shown above) plots the tags used to describe the URL and the people who used them.
