Via Vizworld, I came across this very interesting unstructured data visualization that uses radial graphs.

UNSC/R: this is the abbreviation for the United Nations Security Council Resolutions. These documents represent the decisions of the UN’s executive body. This massive amount of data (more than 1700 documents) doesn’t come in any organized form. The purpose of this project is to apply information design strategies to create visual maps of the Resolutions to help students in politics approach the subject of the UN.

Vizworld had an interesting interview with Piero Zagami, the author of the project.
There are two sites where Piero Zagami posted information related to the project here (24 images posted) and here (several of the images included below).
