The user is a literary scholar wanting to look at the web of intertextuality and influences of which Elizabeth Barrett Browning is the centre.
+
-
 
+
-
She selects the Orlando degrees of separation interface.
+
-
 
+
-
She selects or searches and finds Elizabeth Barrett Browning
+
-
 
+
-
She selects the kinds of associations she want to explore. The best tags for this purpose are the intertextuality tag, the influencesher tag and the sheinfluences tags.  The system provides a way of searching on the available kinds of associations to help her to choose the ones she wants.

-
She starts with the two influences tags and gets a representation of the writers who were influenced by EBB.  She can move from the names of the people to excerpts from the documents in which the selected tags occur.  She can group the results in various ways and save the results so as to look at them later, she can also narrow them chronologically, or discard results that don’t suit her purposes.
+
-
 
+
-
Perhaps not doable but worth mentioning: As she looks at these results, she becomes interested in whether any of these relationships were two way, so she wants to visualize where such links run both ways, i.e. where  EBB is mentioned in other people’s documents in these tags, and where these tags in EBB’s documents contain the names of those same people
+
-
She wants to see how far intertextual and social/professional relationships map onto each other, so would like to produce two “maps” of associations and layer them so she can see how far they coincide or not. The intertextual relations (intertextuality but also sheInfluenced would need to be narrowed to writers whose lives overlapped with hers, and the other map should include FriendsAndAssociates, LeisureAndSociety, RelationsWithPublisher. The layering would be useful not only in pointing out points of coincidence of the two kinds of relations, but also at getting at more direct things, such as whether a particular person was a social relation but is themselves a link to other intertextual relations. I’m quite interested in trying to get at these secondary connections that may have importance but that are not easily apparent.

-
At a certain point she wants to add in another set of results based on the intertextuality tag (e.g. intertextual relations with Felicia Hemans or L.E.L/Letitia Elizabeth Landon.  She runs another search to combine with the results set on which she has been working. Then she wants to be able to sort the results to match up by the writers involved, or by the texts involved. E.g. how far do the two sets coincide? Where they differ, can that difference be related to e.g. historical shifts in taste, where one wanes and the other gains in popularity/prominence?
