DASHBOARD
01
Brief
The goal of Women Writing Around the Camera (an extension of the DAMA project) was to create a node-based data visualization area, specifically using an RDF graph, capable of linking actresses, writers, keywords, places, and books. A section of the website was also dedicated to data visualization, connecting the entities mentioned above.
02
Client
The project was commissioned by the University of Catania, bringing together multiple departments in the humanities.
03
Team
I handled the entire UX usability and the full UI, from individual components and their functionality on the site to branding aspects. Three developers contributed to the creation of the project.

Challenge
The main challenge was translating something highly technical like an RDF graph into a simple, intuitive interface designed for humanities-oriented researchers. Clarity in presenting the various data was essential.
WOMEN/DAMA
The aim of the project
The aim of the project was to highlight, through an interactive RDF graph, connections that would otherwise be difficult to uncover, considering that the typical user is a researcher. For example, one of the objectives was to show correlations between two actors who took part in different films within a specific time frame.
WOMEN/DAMA
Approach and solution
The solution adopted was a dashboard featuring a node-based RDF graph, where nodes can be expanded to reveal new entities and new connections. The entire system was designed to be as intuitive and straightforward as possible.

Final outcome
The final result is a dashboard designed for humanities researchers, who can use this tool to enrich their work with discoveries related to actresses and writers, their works, or the people they encountered throughout their lives. The data visualization helps reinforce the research process, making it more interactive and visually immediate.
