Thanks for linking to my article.
You are completely right- these are just a couple of design paradigms for handing large quantities of data- and a few patterns for each. There will more exploration of the patterns in subsequent posts.

That’s great to hear. Looking forward to more posts on this. I’m enmeshed in a network monitoring project that has to present egregious amounts of data (e.g. tables describing routers with sometimes well over several hundred lines of inter-related data on physical interfaces, VLANs, etc. etc.) in a clean fashion. So, I’ve been scouting around for novel ways to think about the problem of data presentation. Thanks for your work on this.
