Chord2DS: An Extension to Chord Diagram to Show Data Elements from Two Heterogeneous Data Sources

The standard Chord diagram, a radial layout, shows data elements in a circular fashion from one data source. In this paper, we propose an extension to the standard Chord diagram to show data elements from two heterogeneous data sources into one single diagram. The main Chord diagram is used for showing data elements and the relations between them from one data source, while we use an outer layer to show data elements from the second data source. The relationships between data elements from both data sources are shown through visual cues. The proposed solution uses space efficiently compared to using multiple diagrams in the scenarios of two heterogeneous data sources.
