### Description From Literature

From Design Considerations for Optimizing Storyline Visualizations:

> For the time-varying network, we use the Militarized Interstate Dispute (MID) network dataset [19].

> For example, in the MID network dataset, which consists of 196 nations and 740 time steps, the genome length was reduced from 1714 to 432, allowing the algorithm to gain a considerable speedup.

From StoryFlow: Tracking the Evolution of Stories:

> We conducted the experiment based on three movie datasets and a network dataset: Star Wars, Inception, The Matrix, and the MID network dataset (from 1817 to 1947).

“We failed to generate the storyline layout of the MID data, so we used the results provided by Tanahashi.”
