Abstract :
We introduce Pantheon, a dataset and visualization platform quantifying cultural accomplishments that have broken the barriers of space, time and language. The Pantheon dataset connects the 11,340 biographies available in more than 25 languages in Wikipedia with a cultural domain, place of birth, and time period. We present this data through an online data visualization platform supporting the exploration of the dataset. In this poster we describe the Pantheon dataset and visualization platform, both of which are available at http://pantheon.media.mit.edu.
