- Records were analyzed for musician relations
- Relation data was transferred to a format that the visualizer could read
- The visualizer is able to output a visualization of the relations between musicians

Step 2: Musicians were given their own URI, which then allowed the analyzer to comb through the interviews and look for instances of musicians being mentioned in other’s interviews, thus linking them Link to page
Step 3: with the URI’s established and the relationship data being created, the visualizer is able to use the information that the analyzer gathered to display on the visualizer Link to page
