Part 3/11:
The core of the session revolves around transforming opinion data stored in JSON files into formats suitable for visualization tools like Gephy (or Gephi). Shapiro has been working on converting scattered JSON opinions into a validated, homogenized format, primarily GEXF—a graph navigation format similar to XML.
He describes the challenge: JSON files are inconsistent. Some are malformed, missing graph elements, or have different structures. His plan involves writing a Python script that loads, validates, and homogenizes these files into a single GEXF file, ready for visualization. The script would use the json module and libraries like networkx and pyLD for validation and graph creation.
