Timeline Visualization

[chaoran-chen]

Since we human beings believe the arrow of time, I think that a timeline could be a very interesting feature. Concerning a person, it should contain:

• the life of the person (birth, death, other important stations)
• important encounters with other persons
• relevant works (maybe before the person was even born) that affect the person
• the impact of the person (after his/her death): famous works or persons
