Character Interaction Infographic: Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Jurassic Park

Nice visualization of semantic information. The charts above show the interactions of characters during major plot events. The horizontal axis is time and the vertical groupings indicate which characters are together at various times and events. The infographic was created by Randall Munroe from XKCD.
