Hey folks, in the interest of connecting and visualizing information, I started these posts here for discussing and sharing data.
Software For Mapping Connections Visually
NCMEC Organization Map
Here is the latest for anyone who wants to contribue/start their own map.

If you make a free account you can sign in and download an excel or JSON formatted copy. Here is a copy of the Excel format:

It is really easy to edit in Excel. OpenOffice/Libre don't seem to be supported so you need to save in Excel or convert to CSV data before uploading.
If there are some company sites related to the investigation that have employee information, let me know and I'll put it on the list to scrape.

What an awesome tool, and with the NCMEC map you've made an incredible resource. So many people to research, I hope others come in and dig !!!!!! Chapeau! Pinging @honeybee_ @cantsleepawink

I generated the CSV data with code that scrapes html data from the website, so it is not 100% accurate because the web developer didn't stick to certain conventions always.
As you can see, there are some elements that did not get connected for some reason that need to be referenced and connected. And some of the html elements, instead of listing the business they are associated with, they would list a title like you can see "The Honorable Dennis DeConcini" has a business connected that says ""U.S. Senator (Retired)" because like 99% of them listed businesses in that same field so there are a couple like that.
What's interesting is that even looking at the web pages, I didn't realize that both Dennis DeConcini and Manus Cooney were on BOTH boards, ICMEC and NCMEC.

Understand, and thanks for pointing that out. Hopefully we get some eyes on these people!
