	The authors got the data from the Graph Drawing 2005 web site [GD, 2005]. The dataset is a biparitite graph in which each node either corresponds to an actor or to a movie. It also provides metadata for the nodes like name, year, genre~~,..~~. These data first had to be cleaned because like in all large datasets there have been a lot of anomalies. Finally the data was stored in a relational database to simplify data handling.		The authors got the data from the Graph Drawing 2005 web site [GD, 2005].

[Herr et.al., 2007] present a Visualization of the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) which contains 428.440 international movies and over a million actors. The main aim is to give a global overview of the entire movie space and the co-actors relationships.

	The visualization is organized with several layers. The main layer contains all movies that were made between 1890 and 2007 and plots them in 97 columns. The movies titles are sorted within each year and the number of starring actors and the genre are encoded with size and color.		The visualization is organized with several layers. The main layer contains all movies that were made between 1890 and 2007 and plots them in 97 columns. The movies titles are sorted within each year and the number of starring actors and the genre are encoded with size and color.

	The next layer up is the actor layer which pictures the co-actor network by means of a force-directed layout algorithm [~~REFERENZ~~]. This algorithm ensures that actors who often worked together are drawn close to each other and vice versa. The color of the actor font corresponds to the color code of the genre s/he most contributed to. An additional layer is used to offer landmarks in this complex co-actor network.		The next layer up is the actor layer which pictures the co-actor network by means of a force-directed layout algorithm [Davidson et.al., 2001]. This algorithm ensures that actors who often worked together are drawn close to each other and vice versa. The color of the actor font corresponds to the color code of the genre s/he most contributed to. An additional layer is used to offer landmarks in this complex co-actor network.

	These layers provide a reference system that can be used to overlay additional data. In the Visualization below two aditional layers are plotted. The first one shows winners and nominees of the Academy Award's best actress/actor award between 2000 and 2004. The second one enhance winners and nominees of the Academy Award's best picture award with connecting lines.		These layers provide a reference system that can be used to overlay additional data.
