Graph of the entries Every node is an entry and links to its page. Colour is the organisation; a solid node is a core entry and a dashed ring a context entry. The first view draws the overlaps that entries declare (118, each counted once); the second shows the four seams and the entries each names. The same figures are in map.json ; the SVG files can be used as they are on a slide or a poster: graph.svg , graph-seams.svg .
Overlaps between entries
Graph of the entries of the map: overlaps between entries, grouped by organisation
Each circle is an entry of the map and links to its page; the colour is the kind of body behind it, a filled circle is a core entry and a dashed circle a context entry. Entries are in columns by kind of body; a line joins two entries when one of them lists the other as an overlap.

Each circle is an entry of the map and links to its page; the colour is the kind of body behind it, a filled circle is a core entry and a dashed circle a context entry. The four seams S1 to S4 are drawn with the entries that notes/seams.md names for each.
